Description
X-Ray
An X-ray is a quick, painless imaging test that uses a small dose of radiation to create pictures of the inside of the body, particularly bones and certain organs. It helps doctors diagnose fractures, infections, lung conditions, and other health issues.
Why This Test is Done:
-
Detect bone fractures, joint problems, and dislocations
-
Identify lung infections, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis
-
Assess conditions affecting the chest, abdomen, or skeletal system
-
Monitor healing after an injury or surgery
How It Works:
The body part being examined is positioned between an X-ray machine and a photographic plate or digital sensor. The resulting image shows varying shades depending on the density of the tissues.
Preparation:
Usually, no special preparation is needed. Jewelry and metal objects should be removed from the area being examined.
Reporting Time: Same day
