Take 1: Trailer of Fluoroscopy


In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen unintentionally discovered x-rays and produced the first x-ray image, which was of his wife’s hand.  Thomas Edison then took Roentgen’s discovery of the x-ray a step further and introduced conventional fluoroscopy the following year of 1896.  Unlike traditional radiography, fluoroscopy is real-time, dynamic x-ray imaging allowing the radiologist to watch moving structures and functions within the human body by use of x-rays penetrating the body and the images being displayed on a hi-definition digital monitor providing an x-ray “movie” experience.  Interested in unpredictable HD movies revealing answers to unsolved mysteries?  Fluoroscopy is for you!  Stay with me as we “Take 2, 3, 4, etc.” and reveal the greatness of Fluoro.
