Live, moving X-ray for swallowing studies, joint injections, and guided procedures.
Fluoroscopy is a continuous, moving X-ray, like an X-ray movie, that shows the body in motion and guides certain procedures in real time.
How you swallow and how the GI tract works, joint problems during movement, and it guides injections, catheter placement, and other procedures.
Depending on the exam, you may drink a contrast liquid such as barium or receive an injection while the radiologist watches live images. The team guides you through each step.
Preparation varies by exam and by patient. Please follow the specific instructions provided by the imaging center where your study is scheduled, and let them know about any conditions (such as diabetes or kidney disease) that affect medications or eating.
