Yes, more often, radiographers will operate a fluoroscopy unit during surgery which gives a real time x-ray image which the surgeon can use to help guide him but there are instances when a portable x-ray machine is used to take an x-ray during a surgical procedure. If there is a problem with an anaesthetic, the doctor may call for a chest xray during the surgery.
