Frequently Asked Questions
Is fluoroscopy safe given it uses continuous X-rays?
It does involve more radiation than a single X-ray because images are taken continuously, but the dose is carefully controlled and kept as low as possible for the shortest time needed to get useful information.
How much does a fluoroscopy procedure cost?
Costs vary widely depending on what it's being used for, from around Rs 2,000 for a simple diagnostic study to significantly more when combined with an interventional procedure.
Do I need to fast before a fluoroscopy study?
For studies like a barium swallow, you will usually be asked to fast for a few hours beforehand; your doctor or the imaging centre will give specific instructions based on the exact study.
Is there any recovery time needed?
For diagnostic studies, you can typically resume normal activities immediately; if fluoroscopy was used during an interventional procedure, recovery depends on that specific procedure.
How soon will I get the results?
Diagnostic fluoroscopy findings are usually available the same day, as the radiologist can often interpret the real-time images during the study itself.
