What is X-Ray Imaging?
Medical X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation used for diagnostic imaging. They provide detailed pictures of internal tissues and structures, helping doctors detect injuries, diseases, or abnormalities like fractures.
Advantages of X-Ray Imaging
X-ray imaging is fast, convenient, and noninvasive. With a brief test, your provider can quickly see what’s happening inside your body, enabling them to diagnose and treat your condition quickly.
