videofluoroskgópos
Videofluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses a continuous X-ray beam and a video recording system to visualize internal bodily structures in motion. It is particularly useful for evaluating dynamic processes. The procedure involves the patient ingesting or being exposed to a contrast agent, typically barium or iodine-based, which coats or fills the area being examined. The X-ray beam passes through the body, and the contrast material blocks the X-rays, making the structures visible on a fluoroscopic screen. A video camera captures these images in real-time, allowing for playback and detailed analysis.
This diagnostic tool is widely employed in various medical specialties. In gastroenterology, it is used to
