Screening / Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an imaging modality that uses low dose x-rays to acquire images of the body in real time, enabling functional assessment.

Fluoroscopy procedures are performed to help diagnose disease, or to guide physicians during certain treatment procedures.

We provide a screening service to the theatres of St Vincent’s Private Hospital and fluoroscopic imaging for both inpatients and outpatients.

Fluoroscopy is also used for needle insertion guidance during joint injections and lumbar puncture procedures.

In some instances oral or intravenous contrast will be administered to outline the region of interest.

Further information regarding your post procedural care, will be provided on the day of your procedure.
