Explanation

A fluoroscope is a medical device used to take live, real-time images of the body's internal structures. It works much like an X-ray, but instead of producing a single static image, it creates a continuous moving picture. This allows doctors to observe the function of an organ, a joint, or a body system, such as the digestive tract, in action. It's often used during surgical procedures to guide the surgeon.
