Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is similar to an X-ray movie on one specific area of the body. It provides real-time imagery which allows the physician to locate the injection site with utmost accuracy and ensures the medication is correctly injected for pain relief. The physician can direct needles with more precision when performing a procedure or administering treatment. Fluoroscopy can be used on different parts of the body, but is most commonly used for spine interventions and spinal injections.
