Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy Room

Fluoroscopy is a diagnostic test that uses a continuous beam of X-rays to follow movement in the body. The images resulting from fluoroscopy are displayed on a video monitor.

Fluoroscopy is often used to observe the digestive tract in procedures such as upper gastrointestinal tract X-ray, small bowel series and barium enemas.
