Fluoroscopy is a type of medical imaging that allows doctors to see moving images inside the body. It’s different from a regular medical image such as an x-ray because instead of capturing a single still image, it continuously streams images together to show organs, joints, and tissues, and how they are moving.

How is fluoroscopy used?

Fluoroscopy is used to see bodily functions that require movement for a diagnosis. For example, they will be used to study swallowing to evaluate the throat, joint movements to ensure bone structure is aligned, but it can also be used for interventional radiology. In interventional radiology, fluoroscopy images are used to help guide injections into specific joints or tissues.
