X-ray
Radiography and fluoroscopy procedures use X-rays to capture images of the chest, spine, bones, digestive tract, uterus and bladder. Radiography provides pictures of bones and internal organs, while fluoroscopy adds the ability to view flow or motion. Similar to a movie, fluoroscopy can include imaging of dynamic processes such as throat abnormalities.
X-rays take place in the radiology department, in surgery or in patient rooms when necessary. The amount of radiation is always kept to a minimum.
