X-rays produce detailed images of bones, tissues, and organs. This technology is crucial for diagnosing various medical conditions, monitoring the progress of diseases, and guiding treatment decisions.
Purpose: Provides basic imaging of skull, spine, joints, bones and organs. Uses: Diagnose fractures, infections and abnormalities in bones and joints; evaluate chest conditions like pneumonia or heart failure.
Purpose: Focuses on the chest area, including the lungs, heart and surrounding structures. Uses: Assess respiratory conditions (e.g., pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), evaluate heart size and shape and detect abnormalities such as fluid in the lungs.
Purpose: Examines the organs and structures in the abdomen. Uses: Diagnose issues like bowel obstruction, kidney stones or abdominal injuries; assess the presence of foreign objects or gas patterns in the abdomen.
HSG X-Ray: To examine the interior of the uterus and fallopian tubes, to check for partial or complete blockages in the fallopian tubes. Barium X-Ray: Used to identify abnormalities in the GI tract, including tumors, ulcers, inflammatory conditions, polyps, hernias and strictures. MCU X-Ray: To determine whether urine flows from the bladder back up to the kidneys instead of exiting through the urethra. RGU X-Ray: Used to study the urethra for structural abnormalities.
