Fluoroscopy

What is Fluoroscopy

Our hospital proudly features state-of-the-art imaging technology, including the Philips EasyDiagnost Fluoroscopy. Think of it as a “live” X-ray, a special machine that provides real-time moving images of your body by creating a continuous series of X-rays. This allows doctors to observe how your bones, muscles, or organs are moving and functioning in real time.

What Is Fluoroscopy Used For?

Fluoroscopy helps doctors visualise motion within the body. Some common applications include:

Digestive System

Observing how your stomach and intestines move when you swallow or eat.

Medical Procedures

Guiding doctors during procedures, such as placing tubes or needles.

Joint Assessment

Evaluating joint motion or checking for damage.
