Explanation

Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. It's used to study moving body structures, like the heart or lungs. It can also help guide a doctor during certain procedures, such as inserting a catheter into a blood vessel. Unlike a regular X-ray that shows a still picture, fluoroscopy provides a live, moving image.
