fluoroscopes
Real-time X-ray machines
Fluoroscopes are medical imaging devices that use X-rays to produce real-time moving images of the body's internal structures.
Unlike standard X-rays that capture a single still image, fluoroscopy allows doctors to watch organs and systems in motion—observing how contrast dye moves through blood vessels, guiding catheter placement, or monitoring joint movement during orthopedic procedures.
