X-Ray
X-ray imaging is a widely used diagnostic tool that utilizes low-dose radiation to capture detailed images of internal structures, primarily bones and dense tissues. This imaging method helps our specialists detect fractures, infections, and various medical conditions efficiently. X-rays are quick and non-invasive, providing clear and immediate results to support timely diagnosis and treatment planning.
Is this Right for Me?
Patients who have experienced trauma, suspected fractures, joint pain, or other skeletal abnormalities may be advised to undergo an X-ray. Our medical team assesses each patient's needs through a physical examination and their specific symptoms to determine whether an X-ray is the appropriate diagnostic choice.
Procedure
During an X-ray, patients are positioned carefully to ensure optimal imaging of the targeted area. The procedure itself is painless and typically lasts only a few minutes. Patients are instructed to remain still while a controlled amount of radiation is directed toward the area of interest, producing clear images of the bones or tissues involved.
Recovery
No recovery time is necessary after an X-ray, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately. Following the scan, our radiologists review the images thoroughly and create a detailed report. This quick diagnostic insight enables our specialists to design precise treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique condition.
