OSWEGO, N.Y. — Oswego Health says it has installed an advanced, dual-use radiography and fluoroscopy imaging system that will help doctors get real-time X-ray images of the anatomy.
The Luminos Agile Max is the first patient-side system that offers physicians advances in both fluoroscopy and radiography that “can meet the diverse health-care needs of an evolving community,” Oswego Health said in a release.
Fluoroscopy is the type of X-ray image that shows a continuous image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie, as described on the website of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Radiography is a “broad term that covers several types of studies that require the visualization of the internal parts of the body using x-ray techniques,” the FDA website said.
