| Fluoroscopy |
|
Examples include angiography, myelograms and interventional radiology procedures. A fluoroscopy unit consists of three components: the fluoroscope, which moves over the body; 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. |
Fluoroscopy is a continuous mode of x-ray that captures moving images and allows the physician to deliver a safer more accurate, and effective injection. It also is classically used for procedures that involve placing a tube, catheter or other device internally.
