fluoroscope (device)

A fluoroscope is a medical imaging device that allows doctors to see real-time moving images of the inside of a patient's body. It uses X-rays to create live video, similar to a video camera, enabling physicians to observe organs, blood flow, and other structures during diagnostic procedures or treatments. The procedure involves placing a special device called a fluoroscopic image intensifier between the X-ray source and the patient, which amplifies the images. This real-time visualization helps in accurately diagnosing conditions, guiding surgeries, or performing minimally invasive interventions.
