(b) Ultrasound

(c) Fluoroscopy

(d) C – Arm

The question was asked in semester exam.

Origin of the question is X-Ray in division Diagnostic Investigation via Imaging Techniques of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Fluoroscopy

To explain I would say: Fluoroscopy is a process in which a radioactive dye is injected or ingested by the patient. The dye moves along the path in the body and emits radiation. Sometimes, X – Rays may have to fall on the dye to make it emit radiations. These radiations are collected to form images thus a fluoroscopic setup is often found together with an X-Ray setup.
