Question 1

How does a radiopaque structure appear on a radiograph?

Question 2

Which of the following is an example of a radiolucent structure?

Radiolucent structures allow X-rays to pass through them and appear black or dark on radiographs. The lungs, urinary bladder, stomach, and intestines are all examples of radiolucent structures because they are filled with air or fluid, making them appear dark on an X-ray image.

Accepted Answer

A fluoroscope is a medical instrument primarily used for viewing internal organs and structures in real-time with the use of X-rays. It is a type of X-ray machine that can display continuous images of the internal structures of the body on a monitor, allowing the radiologist or physician to observe any changes or abnormalities in the organs or tissues being examined. Radiography and fluoroscopy are related techniques, but radiography involves taking still images of the body, while fluoroscopy provides real-time images. A fluorometer, on the other hand, is a device used to measure the fluorescence of a substance.
