fluoroskopickým

Fluoroskopický is a Czech term that translates to fluoroscopic in English. It refers to a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of internal structures of the body. Unlike a standard X-ray, which captures a single static image, fluoroscopy allows for continuous observation of how organs are functioning, such as the movement of the heart or the passage of a contrast agent through the digestive system.

The fluoroscopic procedure involves an X-ray source projecting a beam of radiation through the patient's body. The transmitted X-rays then strike a fluorescent screen or a digital detector, which converts the X-ray energy into visible light or an electronic signal. This image is then displayed on a monitor, allowing the radiologist or physician to view the internal structures in motion. Contrast agents, such as barium or iodine-based compounds, are often administered to patients to enhance the visibility of specific organs or tissues during fluoroscopy.

Fluoroscopy has a wide range of applications in medicine. It is commonly used in gastrointestinal studies to examine the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, as well as in cardiology for procedures like angiography and pacemaker insertion. It also plays a role in orthopedic surgery for guiding fracture reductions and joint replacements, and in interventional radiology for various minimally invasive procedures. Due to the radiation exposure involved, fluoroscopic examinations are performed when necessary and with the lowest possible radiation dose.
