Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays to visualize the inside of the body in real time, like a “moving” X-ray. It allows doctors to observe how organs function and natural movements, such as swallowing, breathing, or joint mobility. Fluoroscopy can also track the passage of a contrast medium through certain organs, such as the bladder or uterus, in order to analyze their functioning.

Fluoroscopy allows several parts of the body to be viewed in real time: the digestive tract, female reproductive organs, bladder and urethra, blood vessels and joints. It is also used to guide certain medical procedures, such as placing a catheter or injecting a contrast agent into a joint to improve the images obtained during a CT or MRI scan.
Any pregnancy must be reported before the examination due to exposure to X-rays. Any allergy to contrast agents or marker drugs must also be reported to the doctor. If you are taking anticoagulant medication, please also contact our team.
Upon arrival, the team will explain the examination procedure and answer any questions you may have. Any metal objects or clothing must be removed to ensure good image quality. You will be given instructions on how to position yourself during the examination to ensure the best possible visualization of the anatomical structures. The staff will remain present for your comfort.
A contrast agent containing iodine or barium may be administered orally, injected into a body cavity, a vein, or directly into a joint. It allows certain structures to be seen more clearly during the examination.
Under to real-time imaging, the movements and functioning of organs can be observed directly during the examination. You may be asked to swallow, breathe, or change position in order to obtain the best possible analysis.
You can usually resume your normal activities immediately after the exam. If an injection was given into a joint, you may experience slight temporary discomfort.
Fluoroscopy allows the contrast medium to be tracked inside an organ, making it possible to observe its physiological activity and detect any abnormalities. When combined with CT or MRI scans, arthroscopy performed under fluoroscopy improves diagnostic accuracy. The indications are tailored to your clinical situation and often add value to your care.
No. Fluoroscopy uses controlled, low-dose X-rays. Modern digital systems minimise radiation while delivering clear images. The radiologist keeps exposure as short as possible.
Often yes. Contrast helps highlight organs, joints or vessels. It may be swallowed, injected into a vein or placed directly into a joint. We always check for allergies beforehand.
Fluoroscopy itself is painless. If joint contrast is injected, you may feel brief pressure or discomfort. Catheter placement is done gently and with local anaesthesia if needed.
Depending on the region examined, the procedure usually lasts 10–20 minutes. Dynamic studies like swallow exams may be very quick, while joint injections take slightly longer.
It is used for examining the stomach and intestines, bile ducts, swallowing disorders and joint structures. It also guides catheter placement and improves accuracy for later CT or MRI exams.
You may resume your normal activities without concern, as the contrast agent is generally eliminated by the kidneys. It is simply recommended to drink plenty of fluids to help with its elimination.
You may resume your normal activities without concern, as the contrast agent is generally eliminated by the kidneys. It is simply recommended to drink plenty of fluids to help with its elimination.
If an injection has been performed into a joint, you may experience slightly increased discomfort due to pressure within the joint. In this case, we recommend applying an ice pack or taking paracetamol to help relieve the pain.
