What is 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.
