Services > Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is used to provide moving picture X-RAYs.  A continuous xray beam is passed through the body part being examined.  The X-RAY is transmitted to a monitor to show the motion of the body part in detail.  Fluoroscopy is beneficial in viewing the movement of joints or organ systems.
