Real-time X-ray images of body organs

A fluoroscope examination is a medical procedure that uses a special device called a fluoroscope to produce real-time X-ray images of the body. During the procedure, the patient is positioned on a table and the fluoroscope is positioned above or below the area of the body being examined. The device emits a continuous stream of low-dose X-rays that pass through the body and are detected by a special camera. The images produced by the camera are displayed on a monitor in real time, allowing the doctor to see the movement and function of the organs and tissues being examined. Fluoroscope examinations are commonly used to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, including fractures, joint problems, heart conditions, and gastrointestinal issues. The procedure is generally safe and non-invasive, with minimal risk of radiation exposure.
