What radiology image should be recommended for a patient undergoing bronchoscopy with biopsy of a specific mass?

Fluoroscopy
Decubitus x-ray
CT scan
MRI

Explanation

Answer: A - A fluoroscopy image would be recommended for a patient undergoing bronchoscopy for biopsy of a specific mass.

A fluoroscopy, or “fluoro,” is an x-ray, but results are displayed as an image on a screen instead of an actual film. It is portable and in real time. The viewer sees a live, moving picture instead of a still film, which is beneficial in guiding the bronchoscope to exact location of a specific mass for tissue sample.
