X-rays
Quick and reliable imaging for accurate diagnosis
X-rays are a quick and painless imaging tool that uses low-dose radiation to produce images of dense structures in the body, such as bones and joints. X-rays are ideal for diagnosing structural abnormalities and acute injuries.
Conditions Diagnosed with X-rays:
Fractures and Broken Bones: Identifies the exact location and severity of the injury.
Joint Abnormalities: Detects arthritis, bone spurs, and narrowing of joint spaces.
Dislocations: Helps determine if bones are misaligned after an injury.
Osteoporosis: Assesses bone density to identify areas of weakness.
Post-Surgical Monitoring: Ensures implants (e.g., joint replacements) are in place.
Why Choose X-rays?
X-rays are a go-to diagnostic tool for their speed and efficiency. For example, if a patient arrives with acute knee pain after a fall, an X-ray can quickly determine whether a fracture or dislocation is present, allowing immediate intervention.
What to Expect During an X-ray:
The area being scanned will be carefully positioned by a radiographer.
You’ll remain still for a few seconds while the image is captured.
The procedure is painless and typically takes less than 10 minutes.
You may need to wear a lead apron to shield other parts of your body from radiation.
