X ray
X-rays are a medical imaging technique that uses ionizing radiation to produce images of the bones and soft tissues of the body. They are commonly used to diagnose the cause of pain or injury in various parts of the body, such as the skeleton, chest, and abdomen.
At Medic Clinic, patients can expect to undergo an X-ray procedure quickly and painlessly. First, they will be asked to remove any metallic objects that may disrupt the image quality, such as jewelry or watches. They will then be positioned on the X-ray table and asked to remain still during the image acquisition. The X-ray technician will then give a brief exposure of ionizing radiation to produce the image. Once the image is acquired, it will be sent to a radiologist for interpretation and a report will be sent to the patient's doctor.
X-rays are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals, and the benefits of an accurate diagnosis generally outweigh any risk of radiation exposure. However, X-rays should be avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, as the radiation can be harmful to the developing fetus. If you are pregnant or have concerns about the safety of X-rays, tell your doctor or technician before the procedure.
