Fluoroscopy

Real-time continuous X-ray imaging used to guide procedures or assess organ function dynamically.

Fluoroscopy is recommended for patients with specific symptoms, abnormal test results, or as part of a planned treatment pathway. Your Radiology / Interventional Radiology specialist will evaluate your suitability.

Fluoroscopy is typically performed with None or Local. The anaesthesia team will review your health history and allergies before the procedure.

The typical duration is noted in the quick stats above. This may vary depending on complexity and individual patient factors.

Risks include minor discomfort, bruising, rare infection, and in some cases incomplete results requiring repeat testing. Serious complications are uncommon but are discussed at consent.

Fluoroscopy has a documented success rate of 95% at accredited centres. Individual outcomes depend on the underlying condition, patient health, and care team expertise.
