  2. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

    Fluoroscopy can be used to examine the digestive system using a substance that is opaque to X-rays (usually barium sulfate or gastrografin), which is introduced into the digestive system either by swallowing or as an enema. This is normally as part of a double-contrast technique, using positive and negative contrast.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-arm_medical_imaging

    Fluoroscopic X-ray is used for a variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical procedures. For surgery it is practical to use a mobile C-arm system where the x-ray generator and x-ray detector are placed on a C-shaped arm positioned directly opposite from and aligned centrally to each other. The C-arm can be moved horizontally ...

    The imaging system is used in fluoroscopic mode now, where both the inserted instruments and the previously marked lesion are well visible. A precise resection is now possible. In case contrast agent has been used to mark the lesion, it will also drain into the regional lymph nodes, [ 14 ] which then can be resected within the same procedure.

    Most catheterization laboratories are "single plane" facilities, those that have a single X-ray generator source and an X-ray image intensifier for fluoroscopic imaging. [1] Older cath labs used cine film to record the information obtained, but since 2000, most new facilities are digital.

    A PTC is an outpatient procedure lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour where an interventional radiologist accesses the patient's bile duct system with a needle through the skin and liver under imaging guidance. Using fluoroscopy (essentially an X-ray camera) to guide a wire (followed by a catheter over the wire) through the bile duct ...

    Fluoroscopy and angiography are special applications of X-ray imaging, in which a fluorescent screen and image intensifier tube is connected to a closed-circuit television system. [6]: 26 This allows real-time imaging of structures in motion or augmented with a radiocontrast agent.
