Fluoroscopy Test in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune

What is Fluoroscopy?

Fluoroscopy is a special type of medical imaging test that shows live moving pictures of the inside of your body. Unlike a regular X-Ray that gives a still image, fluoroscopy works like a video camera for your body, helping doctors see organs, bones, and blood vessels in real time.

Doctors often call it a “live X-Ray,” and it is commonly used during procedures to guide the placement of medical devices, check organ function, or track the movement of contrast dye through your body.

Why is a Fluoroscopy Test Done?

Fluoroscopy can be used for many different reasons, such as:

• To check how your digestive system works by watching food or liquid move through it.
• To see blood flow through arteries and veins.
• To help guide procedures like inserting stents, catheters, or pacemakers.
• To examine bones, joints, or the spine in motion.
• To assess urinary problems by tracking the movement of dye through the kidneys and bladder.

It gives doctors a clear, moving view inside your body, which helps them make faster and more accurate decisions.

How is a Fluoroscopy Test Done?

1. You will be asked to lie down or sit on an X-Ray table.
2. Depending on the type of test, you may be given a contrast dye (by mouth, injection, or enema) to make certain areas clearer.
3. The fluoroscopy machine will use low-dose X-Rays to capture live images on a screen.
4. The doctor or technician watches these images in real time to study how your organs or blood vessels are working.
5. The test usually takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the procedure.

The test is painless, though you might feel some discomfort if a contrast dye is used.

Benefits of Fluoroscopy

• Real-time imaging: Shows doctors live movement of body parts.
• Guides treatments: Helps place catheters, stents, or other devices safely.
• Accurate diagnosis: Detects blockages, digestive issues, or bone problems.
• Minimally invasive: Reduces the need for more complex surgical procedures.
• Quick recovery: Often performed as an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day.

Preparation Before the Test

• Your doctor may ask you to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the test.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, as special precautions may be needed.
• Let the team know if you have allergies, especially to contrast dye or iodine.
• Wear comfortable clothing and avoid jewelry, as metal objects can interfere with the scan.
• If you are on medication, your doctor will guide you on whether to continue or stop before the test.
