English translation:radiolucent surgical table / radiolucent OR table
Explanation:
I'd put it the other way round, not surgical radiolucent table, but radiolucent surgical table / radiolucent OR table ;-)

The first term gets some 7,000 google hits ad the second some 300...

Well, if your context confirms that it is in fact a "normal" treatment table that is also suitable for surgerical purposes, I'd try something like "radiolucent table that is also suitable for surgical purposes"...

fluoroscopy table suited for use in ORs


Explanation:
I'm not sure if 'fluoroscopy' and 'radiolucent' are synonyms, but I don't think so. Fluoroscopy tables are certainly radiolucent, but I wonder if every radiolucent table is a fluoroscopy table

This fluoroscopy table promotes a 56” (142cm) metal free imaging area for maximum C-Arm efficiency.
Controlled by 1 hand control and 1 foot control unit.
