VIDEO FLUOROSCOPY

Video Fluoroscopy is a motion x-ray study of the bones and joints.
Motion X-ray is the best diagnostic imaging tool to objectively
demonstrate ligament instability, soft tissue injuries and
intersegmental joint dysfunction. The exam can be played back in
real-time, slow motion or freeze frame, but it is the dynamic or
motion aspect of the examination which shows the extent of the
patient's injuries. The "motion pictures" of the spine are more
revealing than standard, motionless radiological images. The entire
dynamic study of all movement is recorded on a computer server in
mpeg format which is immediately available for the physician and
patient.
Indications for Video Fluoroscopy
To detect instability and abnormalities not attained by routine
diagnostics
To confirm or rule out suspected ligamentous instability and/or
intersegmental dysfunction
For cases where trauma involvement is know to result in ligamentous
instability
For patients with pain and/or radiating symptoms occurring or
increasing during motion.
For patients with residual symptoms after a reasonable course of
treatment.
To evaluate hypo (less than normal) or hyper (more than normal)
mobility and/or neuroforaminal occlusion.
