Fluoroscopy is a type of real-time X-ray imaging that shows movement on a screen. In spine and pain care it is commonly used to guide needles precisely during injections and other procedures.
How it relates to car accident recovery
If your accident care includes an image-guided spine procedure, fluoroscopy helps your physician see exactly where medication is being delivered, which supports accuracy and safety.
What to expect
- An explanation of the procedure being guided
- Positioning on a procedure table
- Continuous imaging during the procedure only
- Post-procedure monitoring and instructions
Good to know
Fluoroscopy uses radiation, so providers use the lowest dose needed for the procedure.
