DIAGNOSTIC
X-RAY
Plaza Medical provides onsite diagnostic x-ray
services. Diagnostic X-ray, also known as
radiography, is an examination using electromagnetic
energy beams to produce images onto film or computer. A
physician can then see structures inside your body and
understand better how they’re performing. X-rays have
various functions, such as diagnosing bone injuries and
tumors. X-rays are very routine, painless and results
are usually immediately available.
More About Diagnostic X-Ray
Most X-rays require no preparation. Depending on what
area of the patient is being examined, the person may
stand or lie on the X-ray table. The beam then focuses
on the area in question and numerous angles may be taken
to get a better opinion.
Areas of the body that are X-rayed generally fall into
the following categories: abdomen, central nervous,
chest, face/neck, heart and vascular and
musculoskeletal. Examples of types of X-rays are:
arthrography, bone densitometry, catheter angiography,
galactography, hysterosalpingography, intravenous
pyelogram, mammography, myelography, upper and lower GI
tract.
