Fluoroscopy Systems
Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows continuous, real-time images of continuous movement within the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so the movement of a body part and/or contrast agent can be seen in the body in detail. Fluoroscopy can be used to position a pacemaker or catheter, orthopedic implants during a surgical procedure, or to view contrast agent
R/F systems
An R/F system integrates fluoroscopy and radiography for increased productivity and optimized clinical operations. A typical R/F suite has a ceiling suspension x-ray tube and wallstand in addition to the fluoroscopy system for general radiography.
