Question 10 • Physics

How do radiography and fluoroscopy compare?

Answer
A
Neither technique increases the risk of developing cancer.
B
Radiography uses ionizing radiation, but fluoroscopy does not.
C
Radiography can monitor a process, but fluoroscopy forms a single image.
D
Each technique uses electromagnetic waves.

Explanation

Both radiography and fluoroscopy use X-rays, which are electromagnetic waves and ionizing radiation. Radiography usually produces a still image, while fluoroscopy shows moving images in real time. Because both use ionizing radiation, neither statement that only one uses it is correct.
