Fluoroscopy

About the service

After passing through the body the x-ray beam is viewed by a special camera which produces a moving picture on a TV screen. This lets us watch the body as it works and the radiologist or radiographer performing the examination can take snapshot or moving images.

It also helps other health care practitioners with their patients, such as speech and language therapists working with patients who are having difficulty swallowing.
