Fluoroscopy Imaging at Aminci Hospital

At Aminci Hospital, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art fluoroscopy imaging services to our patients. Fluoroscopy is a specialized imaging technique that uses continuous X-rays to capture real-time moving images of the internal structures of the body. This advanced imaging technology allows our medical professionals to visualize and diagnose a wide range of medical conditions with precision and accuracy.

What is Fluoroscopy Imaging?

Fluoroscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool that provides dynamic images of the body's internal organs, tissues, and systems in real time. It involves the use of a fluoroscope, which is a specialized X-ray machine that emits a continuous beam of X-rays. These X-rays pass through the body and are captured by a detector, which then converts them into a moving image displayed on a monitor.

Fluoroscopy imaging is commonly used to examine the gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, cardiovascular system, and musculoskeletal system. It can help in diagnosing conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, kidney stones, heart conditions, joint problems, and more.

Benefits of Fluoroscopy Imaging

Fluoroscopy imaging offers several advantages over traditional X-ray imaging, including:

• Real-time Visualization: Fluoroscopy provides immediate, real-time images, allowing healthcare providers to observe the movement and function of internal structures as they happen.
• Accuracy: The detailed images produced by fluoroscopy help in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Minimally Invasive: Fluoroscopy-guided procedures are often minimally invasive, leading to faster recovery times and reduced risk for patients.
• Versatility: Fluoroscopy can be used to visualize various body systems and is an essential tool in many medical specialties.

Fluoroscopy Services at Aminci Hospital

At Aminci Hospital, our experienced team of radiologists and technologists specialize in performing fluoroscopy imaging procedures with the utmost precision and care. We offer a wide range of fluoroscopy services, including:

• Barium Enema: A lower GI series that evaluates the colon and rectum for abnormalities like polyps, tumors, or inflammation.
• Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG): A test that examines the bladder and urethra for abnormalities, commonly used to diagnose urinary reflux in children.
• Arthrography: An imaging technique that evaluates joint conditions by injecting a contrast dye into the joint space for better visualization.
• Cardiac Catheterization: A procedure that examines the heart's blood vessels to diagnose heart conditions such as blockages or defects.

Preparing for a Fluoroscopy Procedure

Prior to your fluoroscopy imaging procedure at Aminci Hospital, our healthcare team will provide you with specific instructions based on the type of test being performed. In general, here are some common preparation guidelines:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking.
• Follow any fasting instructions provided, especially for gastrointestinal procedures.
• Wear comfortable clothing and remove any jewelry or metal objects that may interfere with the imaging.
• Arrive at the hospital at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

What to Expect During a Fluoroscopy Procedure

During a fluoroscopy imaging procedure, you will be positioned on an examination table, and the fluoroscope will be maneuvered over the area of interest by a technologist or radiologist. You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath briefly to obtain different views. The entire procedure is painless and non-invasive, with most exams lasting between 15 to 60 minutes.

After the fluoroscopy procedure is complete, our radiologist will analyze the images and provide a detailed report to your referring physician. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you and recommend the appropriate treatment plan based on the findings.
