Abstract

X-ray examinations are generally classified into 3 categories: radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography. Radiography employs film or a solid-state image receptor to acquire static images for interpretation by a radiologist (see Image. X-ray, Anterior View, Lungs, Asbestos). Fluoroscopy is classically employed with an x-ray tube under an examination table while providing images on a monitor or display, typically in real-time. Computed tomography (CT) employs an x-ray source coupled with a detector array rotating around the patient with subsequent reconstruction of images into different planes.
