X-ray

What is an x-ray?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation used in medical imaging to capture images of the internal structures of the body. Using safe, low doses of radiation, X-rays create clear images of bones, joints, and other areas to help find fractures, check for illnesses, and guide treatment plans.

Why would you need an x-ray?

X-rays are commonly recommended for various reasons, including:

• Bone fractures: To assess the extent and location of fractures.
• Joint conditions: To identify joint-related issues such as arthritis.
• Chest imaging: For diagnosing respiratory conditions and detecting abnormalities in the lungs.
• Abdominal concerns: To investigate issues in the abdomen, such as gastrointestinal problems.

Benefits of x-rays

• Rapid results: X-rays provide quick and immediate imaging results.
• Non-invasive: No incisions or injections are involved.
