Digital fluoroscopy

What is digital fluoroscopy?

Digital fluoroscopy uses X-ray images to produce a digital moving picture sequence that can be viewed by the radiologist on a monitor. This allows the anatomy and the movement of a body part to be studied, such as the pumping action of the heart or swallowing. Digital fluoroscopy often involves the introduction of an X-ray dye.
