Why might I need fluoroscopy?
Fluoroscopy is used in many types of exams and procedures including:
* Barium X-rays- this allows the healthcare provider to see the movement of the intestines as the barium moves through them.
* Cardiac Catheterization - Fluoroscopy is used to help the healthcare provider see the flow of blood through the coronary arteries to check for arterial blockages.
* Electrophysiologic procedures- During these procedures, fluoroscopy is used to treat people with heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias).
* Arthrography - X-ray to view a joint or joints.
* Placement of IV (intravenous) or arterial catheters. Catheters are thin, hollow tubes. For catheter insertion, fluoroscopy is used to guide the catheter into a specific vessel inside the body.
* Hysterosalpingogram. This is an X-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
