X-ray fluoroscopy
Last Updated October 20, 2023
Overview of Inspection
This test uses X-rays to see through the human body.
It is possible to observe the shape and movement of organs that are difficult to see as real-time images.
Due to its nature, it is sometimes referred to as X-ray TV inspection.
The content of the test is diverse, but in many cases, it is tested using a contrast agent to make it easier to observe.
Myelography
This is a test in which a needle is pierced in the back and a contrast agent is injected into the dura tube where nerves pass, and the shape and damage of the spine tube are checked.
You can also see changes in the spinal canal when you change your posture, which is useful when you plan treatment by surgery.
By adding CT tests after myelography, you can see the status of the spinal canal in more detail.
Nerve root block
It is a treatment that induces a needle to the root of the nerve while checking X-ray fluoroscopy images and injects local anesthesia to improve symptoms such as back pain.
Instead of local anesthesia, a similar effect can be obtained by applying a high frequency from a dedicated needle to heat solidify the nerves.
All spine photography
This is a test to observe the sequence of the entire spine.
From sleeping in a natural position, we photograph the side bending position with the body bent to the left and right, the stretch correction position with the arms and legs pulled, and the maximum back bending position with the back bent.
It is possible to compare with the standing load level of the EOS inspection.
Swallowing shadow
It is a test to check whether or not there is a problem in the function of swallowing food.
Ingest drinks and food containing contrast agents, and observe them moving through the mouth to the esophagus with X-rays.
