Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy describes an imaging technique in which real time x-ray video is used to diagnose and in some cases treat medical conditions. Such studies include imaging the intestinal tract, the urinary system, and to provide image guidance during pain intervention procedures. There is variable length to a fluoroscopic exam depending on the patient. Specific instructions including what to expect and any special preparation required such as fasting will be communicated to you prior to your fluoroscopy exam.
