Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an X-ray imaging technique doctors use to observe both the structure and function of organs including the bladder, kidneys, reproductive organs and parts of the GI tract. Our Fluoroscopy unit is fully equipped to support the needs of patients from across Dubai and the UAE.

During the exam a specialized X-ray machine called a fluoroscope directs a continuous or pulsed x-ray beam at the organ to create a sequence of images that are projected onto a monitor, enabling doctors to capture a real-time moving image of your organs. To obtain the best images of some organs your doctor may have you take a liquid contrast agent (often barium) by mouth, intravenously, or via an enema. This enhances the clarity and definition of the area being examined.

Please remember to carefully follow all special instructions you receive. It is important to inform the technologist if you are pregnant, diabetic or have special food or medication needs during the time of your exam.

Your exam will be viewed by a radiologist, and the results sent to your referring physician.
