Fluoroscopic Clinical Applications - Video Lesson

Hey, everybody. In this lesson, we're talking about the different types of fluoroscopy, the different kinds of fluoroscopic systems, and their settings and clinical applications. It is important to understand the differences between the types of fluoroscopy and the different fluoroscopic systems so you can achieve the highest possible image quality with the lowest patient dose. Remember, all fluoroscopy uses either a continuous or pulsed X-ray beam to produce real time, moving images of the body's internal structures. These dynamic images help physicians to make more accurate diagnoses and perform more precise procedures. Flroscopy can be divided into two categories, conventional, and interventional. Conventional fluoroscopy is generally used for diagnostic purpose. Like for a barium swallow or a barium enema. Floroscopy exams are used to evaluate anatomical structures for a range of possible diagnoses. Such as dysphagia, blockages, cancer, or other pathologies,
