 X-Ray/Fluoroscopy/DMXWomen should always inform Technologist if pregnant X-RAY X-Ray is the most frequently used form of medical imaging. We have the latest digital x-ray equipment which quickly takes your X-Rays with the use of computers and digital technology eliminating the “wait” for the x-rays to be developed. X-Ray services are provided at: WNY MRI Is a procedure preformed by a radiologist using a machine called the fluoroscope. The fluoroscope has the ability to capture continuous X-Ray and motion images during the exam. During the test you will be asked to drink Barium (a milkshake-like liquid) which coats the linings of the esophagus, stomach and small bowel. The radiologist is able to view the barium as it travels through your digestive system. When the radiologist has completed their portion of the test, the technologist will take some additional pictures to complete the exam. UPPER GI SERIES The Upper Gastrointestinal series is preformed with the fluoroscope to diagnose problems in the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). ESOPHAGRAM This procedure is also preformed under fluoroscopy. Barium is used to coat the lining of the esophagus. The exam is about 20 minutes. SMALL BOWEL FOLLOW THRU This procedure starts with fluoroscopy as the Upper GI Series. Images will be taken periodically to follow the barium into the large bowel.
MODIFIED BARIUM SWALLOW The fluoroscope is used to locate narrowing and obstruction while swallowing from the oral cavity to the esophagus. You will be given small amounts of barium of varying consistency to a piece of coated cookie or cracker. Fluoroscopy services are provided at:
