fluoroscope
A fluoroscope is a medical imaging device that allows doctors to view real-time moving images of the inside of the body. It uses X-rays to capture these images, which can show organs, bones, and blood flow. Unlike traditional X-rays, which provide a single picture, a fluoroscope creates continuous images, similar to a video. This technology is often used during procedures like catheter placements, and for diagnosing conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. It enhances a doctor's ability to see how various parts of the body function in real time, making it an important tool in medical diagnostics and procedures.
