fluroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a medical procedure that makes a real-time video of the movements inside a part of the body by passing x-rays through the body over a period of time. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation.

Fluoroscopy is a type of imaging procedure that uses several pulses of an X-ray beam to take real-time footage of tissues inside your body. Healthcare providers use fluoroscopy to help monitor and diagnose certain conditions and as imaging guidance for certain procedures.

Barium swallow (esophagogram): A barium swallow is a fluoroscopy imaging test that checks for problems in your upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which includes your mouth, back of the throat, esophagus, stomach and the first part of your small intestine.

Barium enema: A barium enema, which is also called lower gastrointestinal tract radiography, is a fluoroscopy imaging test that checks for problems in your colon and rectum (parts of your large intestine). A healthcare provider pours a safe liquid containing barium through a tube inserted into your anus.
