This course introduces students to the operation of fluoroscopic equipment and the range of fluoroscopic examinations performed in clinical practice. Students learn how different body types influence the appearance of anatomical structures during fluoroscopy and develop an understanding of contrast media, including the types used and the basics of contrast administration. Lecture instruction is reinforced through a hands‑on lab practicum, allowing students to apply concepts in a simulated clinical environment.
