Fluoroscópicas

Fluoroscópicas refers to a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of internal structures. Unlike a standard X-ray that produces a static image, fluoroscopy allows physicians to visualize the dynamic processes within the body, such as the movement of organs, blood flow, or the insertion of medical instruments. The process involves a continuous beam of X-rays passing through the patient and striking a fluorescent screen or a digital detector. This produces a live image that can be viewed on a monitor. Fluoroscopy is often used in conjunction with contrast agents, which are substances that absorb X-rays differently than surrounding tissues, making specific organs or vessels more visible. Common applications include guiding procedures like angiography, barium swallows, and the placement of pacemakers. While valuable for diagnostic and interventional purposes, fluoroscopy involves radiation exposure, and healthcare professionals strive to minimize this by using the lowest effective dose and shortest possible exposure times.
