Is an imaging technique used to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. At the Department of Clinical Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine an OEC 9800 Plus fluoroscope from GE Healthcare is available. This fluoroscope couples a screen to an X-ray image intensifier, which allowed the image on the screen to be visible under normal lighting conditions. It is also connected to a CCD video camera to permit recording of moving images and electronic storage of still images. It has a loop function, which minimizes the exposure time and at the same time achieves better resolution. Contrast material can be used to enhance the contrast of structures or fluids within the body. Examples include cardiac catheterization (to examine for coronary artery blockages) and barium swallow (to examine for esophageal disorders).
