About Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is a type of X-Ray that captures moving images, allowing the radiologist to observe the functioning as well as the anatomy of internal organs. Common exams that use fluoroscopy include Upper Gastrointestinal Exams (UGI) and Barium Enemas (BE). It also is used to guide the radiologist when performing a procedure that involves placing a tube, catheter, or other device internally, including angiography, myelograms and interventional radiology procedures. For nearly all of these exams, static or still images are taken to document what is seen by the radiologist at the time of the exam.
A fluoroscopy unit consists of three components: the fluoroscope, which moves over the body part of interest; the monitor that displays the moving image; and the X-Ray tube that generates the X-Rays that pass through the body and create the image on the fluoroscope. As with any X-Ray, you do not feel any sensations from fluoroscopy itself.
