What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound imaging is a safe, non‑invasive technique that uses high‑frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal organs and tissues.

What is Fluoroscopy?

Fluoroscopy is an advanced imaging technique that produces continuous X‑ray images on a monitor, much like an X‑ray movie. It is used to examine the blood vessels and the heart.
