About the procedure
Fluoroscopy is a real-time, dynamic medical imaging technique that uses a continuous X-ray beam to produce live, moving images of internal structures. It is often combined with contrast agents to visualize processes such as blood flow, swallowing, or instrument movement during procedures.
Care before the procedure
- Fasting for upper GI studies; bowel prep for lower GI studies.
- Allergy screening for iodinated contrast; renal function assessment.
Care during the procedure
- Patient positioned on a fluoroscopy table; contrast administered as needed.
- Real-time imaging captures dynamic processes (e.g., peristalsis, blood flow).
- Collaborative interaction between radiologist and technologist.
Care after the procedure
- Hydration to expedite contrast elimination (if iodinated agents are used).
- Monitoring for contrast reactions (e.g., allergy, nephrotoxicity).
