Fluoroscopy Service Offered at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore

What is Fluoroscopy?
Fluoroscopy is a powerful tool used by pain medicine specialists during advanced pain treatment procedures. Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures. In the process, physicians utilize live images, similar to a moving X-ray, to precisely guide needle placement and see the size, shape and structure of a patient's internal bony structures.
Fluoroscopic injection allows the interventional pain physician to perform minimally invasive treatment procedures with greater precision, improved patient comfort, fewer complications and better results.
