X-ray and fluoroscopic procedures

——

X-rays create images of the inside of the body. Fluoroscopy is a type of “live” X-ray that lets doctors see parts of the body move in real time.

The X-ray is the oldest type of medical imaging. It’s still the medical imaging technology that is used most often today.

Fluoroscopic procedures are tests that use photos and video to see parts of the body as they move in real time. This lets doctors watch a heart as it pumps or see how someone swallows, for example.

About these imaging tests

A technologist will greet you after check-in and bring you to the exam area. We may ask you to remove clothing and jewelry and change into an exam gown.

Depending on the type of exam, you may lie down on the exam table or stand upright against the image plate. It's important to stay very still and do what the technologist tells you. This will help us get the clearest and best images possible.

There is no preparation needed for X-ray exams. We just need your doctor's orders for the X-ray. Appointments are not required. X-rays are done on a walk-in basis at Madison Center, Broadway, Northgate Plaza, and Downtown.
