  2. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

    Because fluoroscopy involves the use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, fluoroscopic procedures pose a potential for increasing the patient's risk of radiation-induced cancer. In addition to the cancer risk and other stochastic radiation effects, deterministic radiation effects have also been observed ranging from mild erythema ...

  3. Fluorescence image-guided surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_image-guided...

    Similarly to standard image-guided surgery, FGS has the purpose of guiding the surgical procedure and providing the surgeon of real time visualization of the operating field. When compared to other medical imaging modalities, FGS is cheaper and superior in terms of resolution and number of molecules detectable. [ 2 ]

  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 ...

  6. X-ray image intensifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier

    An X-ray image intensifier (XRII) is an image intensifier that converts X-rays into visible light at higher intensity than the more traditional fluorescent screens can. Such intensifiers are used in X-ray imaging systems (such as fluoroscopes) to allow low-intensity X-rays to be converted to a conveniently bright visible light output.

  7. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Two forms of radiographic images are in use in medical imaging. Projection radiography and fluoroscopy, with the latter being useful for catheter guidance. These 2D techniques are still in wide use despite the advance of 3D tomography due to the low cost, high resolution, and depending on the application, lower radiation dosages with 2D technique.

  8. Hysterosalpingography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterosalpingography

    The procedure involves x-rays (fluoroscopy). [7] Images are taken to demonstrate the filling of endometrial cavity, which shows full view of the fallopian tubes demonstrating the spillage of contrast material into peritoneum, the extent of the block if no spillage is present, or a delayed view in the case of abnormal cavities within. Subject ...

    The region can be directly visualized with the endoscopic camera while various procedures are performed. A plastic catheter or cannula is inserted through the ampulla, and radiocontrast is injected into the bile ducts and/or pancreatic duct. Fluoroscopy is used to look for blockages, or other lesions such as stones. [8] [9]
