Fluoroscopy is a form of diagnostic imaging that uses x-rays with the aid of a contrast agent to capture a moving image of an organ while it is functioning. In simpler terms, a fluoroscopy can be considered an x-ray movie. Fluoroscopic technology is often the most effective way to view the esophagus, stomach, joints and upper or lower gastrointestinal tract. We have created a guide for our patients on what to expect prior, during and after your fluoroscopy exam.
