X-Rays or Radiographs

X-Ray Centre in Yeshwanthpur

Radiography is a medical imaging technology that uses a low dosage of ionizing radiation to take images of the body's interior structures. The imaging technique detects cracked bones and diagnoses injuries, infections, and foreign objects within soft tissues. Some X-ray techniques include iodine contrast materials or barium to improve visibility in specific organs, blood vessels, tissues, and bones.

During a Radiography (X-ray) examination, invisible X-ray beams flow through the body, capturing images on a detector. Tissues in the body absorb radiation differently, with organs appearing grey and bones appearing white, depending on their densities. Medical practitioners use X-ray imaging with a keen eye, using the technology to identify fractures by meticulously examining the radiographic interaction of organ and bone densities. Additionally, dentists use X-ray diagnostics to detect and analyse cavities within teeth. Meanwhile, mammographers use low-energy X-rays, stressing the precise calibration necessary to monitor and analyse the breast tissue.

The patient sits on a table, and the doctor moves the patient's limbs or body to get clear images. Staying motionless and, in certain cases, holding breath for a short period reduces blurriness. Wearing comfortable clothes and avoiding lotions and metal objects is critical. Individuals can have X-rays safely, but pregnant women should inform the healthcare provider about their pregnancy and the healthcare provider will exercise necessary caution to protect your growing baby from radiation.
