What is a Digital X-Ray?
Digital X-RAY (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the
body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.
Digital X-ray is used to:
- Diagnose broken bones or joint dislocation.
- Guide orthopedic surgery, such as spine, joint replacement and fracture reductions.
- Assist in the detection and diagnosis of bone cancer.
- Benign tumors (such as polyps)
- Cancer
- Scarring
- Severe indigestion
- Ulcers
