fluoroskopiajärjestelmiä

Fluoroskopia is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the internal structures of the body in real-time. It involves the use of X-rays and a fluorescent screen, which allows for the visualization of moving structures such as the heart, lungs, and digestive system. The process begins with the patient being positioned on a table that can be adjusted to the desired angle. A thin, flexible tube called a fluoroscope is then inserted into the body through a small incision or natural opening, depending on the area being examined. The fluoroscope contains a small X-ray source and a fluorescent screen that emits light when exposed to X-rays. As the X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed by different tissues at varying degrees, creating a shadowgraph on the fluorescent screen. This image is then magnified and displayed on a monitor, allowing the medical professional to observe the internal structures in real-time. Fluoroscopy is commonly used in interventional radiology, where it is used to guide the placement of catheters, stents, and other medical devices. It is also used in diagnostic imaging to visualize abnormalities in the body. The procedure is generally safe, but it does involve exposure to X-rays, which can be harmful if not used properly. As such, it is typically performed by trained medical professionals in a controlled environment.
