What is an X-Ray?
X-rays are a common imaging test that has been used for decades to help doctors view the inside of your body. X-rays are particularly useful for:
- Diagnosing Bone Injuries: X-rays can easily detect fractures, breaks, and dislocations.
- Identifying Infections: Certain infections can be seen in bones or lungs through X-ray images.
- Locating Foreign Objects: If you have swallowed an object or have something lodged in your body, an X-ray can help find it.
- Monitoring Disease Progression: X-rays can track the progression of certain diseases, such as osteoporosis or arthritis.
Preparing for Your X-Ray
Most X-rays require no special preparation. However, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Clothing: You may be asked to wear a hospital gown during the exam, depending on the area being X-rayed.
- Jewelry: Remove any jewelry or metal objects that could interfere with the imaging process.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or suspect you might be, inform your doctor or radiologist before the X-ray, as special precautions may be needed.
During the Procedure
The X-ray procedure is quick and painless. You’ll be asked to stand, sit, or lie down depending on the type of X-ray required. The technician will position the X-ray machine and guide you through the process, ensuring that the necessary images are captured with minimal discomfort.
After the X-Ray
Once your X-rays are taken, you can resume your normal activities. Our radiologists will analyze the images and send a detailed report to your doctor. If any follow-up is required, your healthcare provider will discuss the next steps with you.
