Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous x-ray image on a monitor, much like an x-ray movie. By displaying the movement of a body part or of dye (contrast agent) moving through your body, flouroscopy is used to diagnose or treat a variety of conditions. This enhanced x-ray produces images on a monitor for diagnosis of abnormalities of the digestive tract, kidneys and gallbladder.
During a fluoroscopy procedure, an x-ray beam is passed through your body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail.
Fluoroscopy is used in many types of examinations and procedures. Fluoroscopy is typically used for upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) studies.
