A
radiologic technique in which a fluoroscope is used
to visually examine the body or an organ. (A fluoroscope
utilizes an X-ray tube and fluorescent screen, with
the area to be viewed placed between the screen
and the tube.) This immediate imaging, when coupled
with an image intensifier, is invaluable in situations
such as cardiac catheterization, thin needle biopsies
of tumors, and localization of foreign bodies. |
