How do radiography and fluoroscopy compare? Neither technique increases the risk of developing cancer. Radiography can monitor a process, but fluoroscopy forms a single image. Each technique uses electromagnetic waves. Radiography uses ionizing radiation, but fluoroscopy does not.

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiography is similar to fluoroscopy.

An X-ray beam is passed through the body in case of radiography procedure, but it makes a still images on film whereas an X-ray beam is used with video screen during fluoroscopy procedure, so it makes images in motion that is not stored.

Both the radiography and fluoroscopy uses electromagnetic waves i.e. X-rays.

It is common in both the radiography and fluroscopy.

Hence, Third option is correct.

The answer is; C.

Radiology involves the use of electromagnetic waves such as X-ray to get still images of the body so as to analyze for medical conditions. Fluoroscopy, on the other hand, involves the use of electromagnetic radiation, such as X-rays, to get live imaging of the internal body. The patient ingests a fluorescent material that travels throughout the system and the emitted radiation is monitored by an X-ray imaging equipment.
