  2. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

    Fluoroscopy is also used in airport security scanners to check for hidden weapons or bombs. These machines use lower doses of radiation than medical fluoroscopy. [ 12 ] The reason for higher doses in medical applications is that they are more demanding about tissue contrast, and for the same reason they sometimes require contrast media .

  3. Shoe-fitting fluoroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

    There are multiple claims for the invention of the shoe-fitting fluoroscope. The most likely is Jacob Lowe, who demonstrated a modified medical device at shoe retailer conventions in 1920 in Boston and in 1921 in Milwaukee.

  4. Digital subtraction angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subtraction...

    Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique used in interventional radiology to clearly visualize blood vessels in a bony or dense soft tissue environment. Images are produced using contrast medium by subtracting a "pre-contrast image" or mask from subsequent images, once the contrast medium has been introduced into a ...

  7. Interventional radiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_radiology

    Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. IR performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions or body orifices.

  8. G-arm medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-arm_medical_imaging

    G-arm medical imaging systems are based on fluoroscopic X-ray and are used for a variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgical procedures.The name is derived from the G-shaped arm used to connect two X-ray generators and two X-ray detectors, image intensifiers or digital flat panel detectors, to one another.

  9. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Fluoroscopy produces real-time images of internal structures of the body in a similar fashion to radiography, but employs a constant input of X-rays, at a lower dose rate. Contrast media, such as barium, iodine, and air are used to visualize internal organs as they work. Fluoroscopy is also used in image-guided procedures when constant feedback ...
