Radiographic/Fluoroscopy Systems (Special Procedure)
Fluoroscopy is a form of x-ray imaging used to watch motion. If conventional radiography is like looking at an x-ray picture, then fluoroscopy is like watching an x-ray movie. Live, dynamic imaging is performed with an x-ray beam when a system being examined requires watching a certain motion. Fluoroscopy is often used for examinations like upper GI studies, barium enemas, venography, arthography, endoscopy, myelography, lap band procedures, barium swallows, etc. The two types of fluoroscopy systems are remote controlled and table side controlled systems.
Table side controlled systems are designed with the x-ray tube under the table with either an image intensifier (I.I.) or a digital detector above the patient. These require an operator to be in the room next to the patient while performing the examination.
Remote controlled systems are designed with the x-ray tube over the table and the I.I. or digital sensor under the table. The remote controlled systems with flat panel detectors allow for the table lowering movement to go very close to the floor, which allows for easier patient loading. Remote controlled systems allow for the operator to work from a control area that is either shielded from or located outside of the procedure room.
