    "description": "Live X-ray imaging used to steer a needle to a target inside the body - for a biopsy, an aspiration, an injection, or to place a localizing marker. The fluoroscope gives a continuous moving picture so the operator can advance the needle in small steps and confirm its depth and angle before anything is injected or withdrawn. It supports another procedure and is reported together with it rather than by itself.",
