We offer high-resolution digital imaging for skeletal and internal pathologies with minimal radiation. Modern technology ensures rapid image acquisition and enhanced clarity, aiding physicians in vital, time-sensitive clinical decision-making.
Modern digital X-rays use extremely low doses of radiation; however, we follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to ensure patient safety across multiple scans.
It allows physicians to quickly visualize the lungs for signs of pneumonia, fluid accumulation, or enlarged heart structures that physical exams cannot see.
If pregnant, you must inform the technician; while digital X-rays are low-dose, we use lead shielding or alternative imaging (like Ultrasound) to protect the fetus.
X-rays are primarily for bones; for soft tissue (ligaments/tendons), an Ultrasound or MRI is generally more effective, though X-rays help rule out associated fractures.
Holding a breath expands the lungs and stabilizes the diaphragm, providing a clearer, sharper image of the internal chest structures without motion blur.
Recommended following skeletal trauma or injury, or if experiencing persistent chest pain, chronic coughing, or internal discomfort requiring immediate imaging.
