X-ray

X-ray imaging uses low-dose radiation to produce images of internal structures — one of the fastest and most widely used diagnostic tools in medicine. What does this test check? Produces 2D radiographic images using x-ray beams, revealing bones, some soft tissues, and air-filled spaces depending on the body part examined. Why get tested? X-rays are quick, affordable, and highly informative. They can detect fractures, pneumonia, joint disease, and many other conditions in minutes. Who should get this test? Anyone requiring imaging of bones (fracture, arthritis), chest (pneumonia, TB screening), or other structures as directed by a physician.
