RESUMEN
Los estudios del tracto digestivo con control fluoroscópico cada vez se practican con menos frecuencia debido a la introducción de otras técnicas de imagen como la tomografía computarizada o la resonancia magnética y la mayor accesibilidad a la endoscopia. No obstante, continúan apareciendo en muchas guías de práctica clínica y siguen teniendo indicaciones vigentes. Son exploraciones dinámicas y dependientes del operador, que requieren de un entrenamiento para obtener la máxima rentabilidad. Esta revisión pretende repasar la técnica y actualizar las indicaciones de esta modalidad de imagen (AU)
Fluoroscopic studies of the gastrointestinal tract are becoming increasing less common due to the introduction of other imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and to the increased availability of endoscopy. Nevertheless, fluoroscopic studies of the gastrointestinal tract continue to appear in clinical guidelines and some of their indications are still valid. These studies are dynamic, operator-dependent examinations that require training to obtain the maximum diagnostic performance. This review aims to describe the technique and bring the indications for this imaging modality up to date (AU)
