Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is like a special camera that lets grown-ups see inside your body without cutting you open.
Sometimes when you go to the doctor, they might not be able to see what's going on inside your body just by looking at you. That's where fluoroscopy comes in! You lay down on a special table, and a grown-up will use a special machine to take pictures of what's going on inside of you.
The machine uses a special kind of light called X-rays. These X-rays can see through your body to help the grown-up see things like your bones or organs. The pictures show up on a TV screen, so the grown-up can see what's happening inside your body in real-time!
Fluoroscopy is really helpful for when the grown-up needs to see how things are moving inside your body. For example, if you're having trouble swallowing, the grown-up can watch your throat with the fluoroscopy machine in real-time to see what might be causing the problem.
But don't worry, the X-rays are very safe and won't hurt you! You might wear a special shield to protect other parts of your body, like a cape or a vest. And the grown-up will make sure you're all comfy and cozy during the procedure.
