fluoroscopy
Real-time body imaging
Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses continuous 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 shows organs and systems in motion—useful for guiding catheters, observing swallowing, or monitoring digestive function: The surgeon used fluoroscopy to position the stent.
