Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy a procedure that is done on an outpatient basis. Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures. It’s much like an X-ray and, is often done while a contrast dye moves through the part of the body being examined. This is an out-patient procedure and can be performed in our office.
