Fluoroscopy is an imaging tool that allows physicians to see various body systems in motion using a continuous stream of x-ray images displayed at approximately 25-30 images per second. It is used in a variety of procedures like orthopedic surgery, catheter insertion, barium x-rays, and blood flow studies. While there are risks of radiation exposure like cancer and burns, the benefit of fluoroscopy outweighs these minute risks when a patient requires the procedure. Precise steps are followed to perform the procedure safely.
