Fluoroscopy - Esophograms, UGI, BE, IVP, VCUG,
Arthrograms
The body's soft tissue organs, such as the stomach, liver, and intestines have a density which
gives an external outline but does not show the inner parts of these structures. This problem
can be solved in "hollow" organs such as the stomach and the intestines by introducing a contrast
material such as barium which can be swallowed or given as an enema. Air and barium can be used
together as a "double contrast" study for greater detail. These studies are also called
"fluoroscopy" studies. Some iodine solutions block x-rays in blood vessels or kidneys enabling
those structures to be seen on film or video for later review.
Below is a list of few Fluoroscopy studies offered by Orange County Diagnostics using the GE Advantx:
