AB  - Since  their  discovery  in  1895,  x-rays  have  revolutionized  the  practice  of  medicine.  By  allowing  doctors  to  view  the  inside  of  the  living  body,  x-rays  have  greatly  increased  our  ability  to  diagnose  and  treat  disease  and  to  precisely  deliver  targeted  therapies.  The  fluoroscope  was  the  first  x-ray  machine  and  has  evolved  from  its  humble  beginnings  into  a  powerful  and  sophisticated  device  that  has  become  the  basis  for  the  new  field  of  interventional  pain  management.  Modern  fluoroscopes  enable  the  interventional  pain  practitioner  to  use  continuous,  real-time  x-ray  imaging  to  guide  interventional  procedures  that  target  the  physical  generators  of  pain  with  a  high  degree  of  precision  and  safety.  Since  fluoroscopy  is  essential  for  most  invasive  pain  procedures,  it  is  imperative  that  interventional  pain  physicians  have  a  firm  understanding  of  the  fluoroscope  in  order  to  use  it  safely  and  effectively  in  daily  practice.
