Fluroscopy

What is Fluoroscopy?

Fluoroscopy is an x‐ray procedure that produces live pictures that appear on a screen instead of taking a permanent still picture. This allows the radiologist to observe how an organ performs its normal function; for example, how the esophagus works during swallowing.
