Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a radiological technique used to obtain real time images of a
patient's internal anatomy, with the possibility of registering and reproducing
the obtained images on monitor.
The use of X-rays and subsequently fluoroscopy, requires that potential risks
of exposure be carefully balanced by the benefits in terms of diagnosis, that
the examination is able to offer. Despite trying to use reduced doses of
radiation, fluoroscopy sequence time can be rather long and the absorbed
dose can be relatively high.
WARNING:
Repetitive or prolonged exposures may result in local skin dose
levels that cause adverse tissue reactions.
