Overview
A Digital X-Ray uses low-dose radiation to create images of bones, joints, the chest, and other internal structures. Digital technology provides sharper images with less radiation exposure compared to traditional film X-rays.
Why Is This Done?
X-rays are used to detect fractures, joint dislocations, lung infections (pneumonia), heart enlargement, kidney stones, and other abnormalities. They are essential for both diagnosis and treatment planning.
Who Needs This Test?
Patients with bone pain after injury, chronic joint pain, persistent cough, or abdominal symptoms may need an X-ray. It is also a standard part of pre-operative and health check-up evaluations.
How to Prepare
No special preparation is needed. You may be asked to remove jewellery or metal objects from the area being imaged. Inform the technician if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
Duration
The procedure takes 5–10 minutes depending on the area being imaged.
Report Timeline
Digital images are available immediately. The radiologist's report is typically ready within 1–2 hours.
