Digital X-rays

A Digital X-Ray facility provides immediate processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. This allows applications in all routine X-rays as well as specialized imaging studies like IVP, HSG and barium studies. A Digital X-Ray facility provides images to be viewed on-screen within minutes. A radiologist typically views and interprets the results.

Preparation

You will be required to remove all jewelry and wear a gown provided at our centre during the x-ray examination because metal and certain clothing can obscure the images and require repeat studies.

Benefits of digital X-Ray:

Xray is a low cost basic investigation modality and is widely available.
Because x-ray imaging is fast and easy, it is particularly useful in emergency diagnosis and treatment.

Risks

Although X-ray carries risk of radiation, but routine X-rays especially with newer equipments, give low radiation dose to patients (well within permissible limits).
Women should always inform their physicians or x-ray technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant.
