Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. During a fluoroscopy procedure, an X-ray beam is passed through the body. The image is transmitted to a monitor so the movement of a body part or of an instrument or contrast agent (“X-ray dye”) through the body can be seen in detail.
Analogue fluoroscopy, which consists of an X-ray source and aII TV image capture system, is commonly used to obtain real-time moving images of internal structures.
Digital fluoroscopy, which consists of an X-ray source and a Flat Panel Detector system, is commonly used to obtain real-time moving images of internal structures.
