Digital X-Ray
Crystal Clear Diagnostics.

High-resolution imaging for rapid and accurate detection. From bone fractures to lung conditions, our digital system ensures lower radiation and faster results.

What is it used for?

X-rays are a versatile diagnostic tool used to detect a wide range of conditions in most areas of the body. While most commonly associated with examining bones and joints for fractures or arthritis, they are also essential for checking the health of the lungs (detecting pneumonia or infection) and other soft tissues.

What to expect?

X-rays utilize radiation to create images of the inside of your body. During the exam:

  • A specialized detector captures the x-rays passed through your body.
  • Dense parts like bone block the rays and appear white.
  • Softer areas (muscles, organs) allow rays to pass and appear in shades of gray or black.

* This exam is carried out by experienced, certified radiographers.

Preparation

Usually, no special preparation is needed.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Avoid jewellery.
  • Avoid clothes with metal zips/buttons.

Safety & Risk

X-rays involve a small amount of radiation exposure. However, digital technology uses extremely low levels, meaning the risk is minimal for most adults.

Pregnancy Warning

Pregnant women should avoid x-rays. If your doctor recommends one and you are (or might be) pregnant, please notify the staff immediately.
