Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of the body.

It is used for a variety of diagnostic procedures, such as

  • Barium studies
  • VCUs (Voiding Cystourethrograms), and gastrointestinal (GI) procedures.

 

Fluoroscopy can be used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, from digestive disorders to urinary tract abnormalities.

Fluoroscopy tests allow the physician to see the movement and function of the internal structures being examined and offers a non-invasive alternative to exploratory surgery or other invasive procedures

Generally considered safe when performed by a trained medical professional using appropriate equipment and techniques.
