human body.
Fluoroscopy is a special application of x-ray that allows for real-time
imaging of the structures using a radiocontrast agent usually swallowed

Before Your Exam:
You may have a preparation for your exam – you will be informed of
this when you make your appointment.
Dress comfortably- you may be given a gown or shorts to wear during your exam.
Please note that for safety reasons unless your child is a patient, he
or she is not allowed in the X-ray exam room. Please make arrangements
for childcare as needed.
During Your Exam:
You may need to lie down on the x-ray table for your exam.
Many of the these exams take very little time to perform.
You may need to hold your breath for the exam. The breath hold will be
very short.
After Your Exam:
The technologist performing your exam will give you further directions
before you leave.
Your exam will be interpreted by a board-certified radiologist and printed
results will be sent to your ordering physician.
