Fluoroscopy

What is a Fluoroscopy?

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses XX-rays to create real-time images. If an X-ray is compared to a photograph, fluoroscopy can be compared to a movie, as it produces moving images.

What do I need before the scan?

You need a referral letter from your doctor to be able to make a booking for the scan.

The preparation for each procedure varies. When booking an appointment, you will be told the specific preparation for the procedure.

When you make the booking, you must inform the receptionist if you are pregnant or suspect that you might be pregnant.

What happens after the procedure?

You will receive a copy of your images, and your referring doctor will receive a detailed report to discuss.
