REPORT DESCRIPTION
Digital Fluoroscopy System Market – Overview
Digital fluoroscopy is form of X-ray that enables technician to visualize deep structures of the body. Digital
fluoroscopy provides detailed images of different organs such as intestine, cardiac muscle, bladder, and
stomach. Conventional X-ray records images to a film, while digital fluoroscopy helps in recording a series
of images to the computer. Digital fluoroscopy is majorly used to check and evaluate the gastrointestinal
tract, which includes stomach, esophagus, duodenum and the colon. Furthermore, it is used to diagnose
tumors, ulcers, hiatal hernias, scarring, reflux, inflammation, and blockages. It examines and evaluates
kidney function in venography and angiography procedures (placement of tubes in veins and arteries) and
pain management procedures (nerve root blocks). Procedures that use fluoroscopy are orthopedic surgery,
podiatric surgery, angiography, placement of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC), placement of
weighted feeding tube in the duodenum, urological surgery, cardiology, discography, lumbar puncture, and
modified barium swallow study.
