Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy uses ionizing radiation (x-rays) to observe any part of the human anatomy in real-time. Barium and/or iodinated contrast media may be given to enhance normal anatomy and physiology and to delineate pathology. 

Facilities, Technical Capabilities, and Limitations

  • There are two fluoroscopy units available for human research. 
  • All units produce high-quality digital images including video (cinematic) loops.
  • Images are viewable and archived on the Enterprise-wide McKesson Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS); CDs/DVDs can be created as needed.
  • Radiology reports are viewable through SCM/AEHR and can be printed as needed.

Costs

  • Please discuss project and all applicable costs with Radiology Senior Research Coordinator prior to IRB and/or grant submission or renewal. 
  • Radiology costs include the technologist’s time to prepare and image the patient/human research subject according to protocol, process the image data, and archive the images to a CD/DVD if required by the investigator or study sponsor. 
  • Supply costs might be incurred, e.g., barium and/or iodinated contrast media.
  • Professional services by radiology physicians and/or medical physicists are negotiable.
