Fluoroscopy
A moving X-ray — that is the best way to describe fluoroscopy, which uses X-ray technology and contrast material to obtain a moving image of a specific organ.
Radiologists typically use fluoroscopy to diagnose disorders of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and colon as well as the uterus, bladder, and rectum — in addition to other organs. Interventional radiologists, interventional neurosurgeons and interventional cardiologists may also use fluoroscopy to view organ structures during IR, neurovascular or cardiac catheterization procedures.

Our Technology
In fluoroscopy, advancements in technology make an impact on both time and radiation exposure. Our industry-latest technology means that many of our studies take very little time to complete, reducing radiation exposure and improving patient comfort.
In addition, our skilled radiologists use industry best practices such as continuous pulses — rapid pulses every four seconds — which also help reduce radiation exposure but still ensure a high-quality image.
