How do radiography and fluoroscopy compare?

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

Explanation

Both radiography and fluoroscopy use X-rays, which are electromagnetic waves and ionizing radiation. Radiography typically captures a still image, while fluoroscopy uses a continuous or pulsed series of X-rays to show motion in real time. So the statement that each technique uses electromagnetic waves is correct.
