Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy uses x-ray technology to provide real-time images of the area being examined. It is often used to examine various body systems, including skeletal, digestive, urinary, or reproductive, as well as organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. It is commonly used to examine the intestines and large bowel, and is most often performed using a contrast solution to make tissues and other structures more visible.
Fluoroscopy is often used with other diagnostic or therapeutic procedures to provide visual monitoring and guidance for procedures such as:
- Biopsies
- Cardiac catheterization
- Image-guided injections
