Fluoroscopy is an x-ray procedure that makes it possible to see internal organs in motion. In fact, you could call fluoroscopy an x-ray “movie.” A continuous x-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined, and is transmitted to a TV-like monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail.
A dye or “contrast material” that shows up on x-rays can be injected or swallowed during fluoroscopy to outline blood vessels, organs and pathology.
Please feel free to ask the technologist or nurse any questions before and during the exam. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions of a radiologist, physician assistant or radiology assistant.
Each fluoroscopy procedure is different and requires a unique process. You will be asked to lie or stand against an x-ray table. A special x-ray machine is used to image the structure in your body that is being examined. You may be given contrast material or dye to help with the imaging process. For your procedure, you may be asked to wear a hospital gown.
Please arrive to your exam at least 15 minutes early to complete paperwork.
For your safety and the safety of your children, please make arrangements for someone to care for your children during your scheduled appointment time. If you are unable to find care for them, please call and reschedule your appointment.
