X-rays are commonly recommended when a patient experiences unexplained pain, swelling, or injury. They help diagnose bone fractures, joint abnormalities, and infections. Chronic conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis can also be monitored through X-rays. If a doctor suspects internal injuries after an accident, an X-ray can provide crucial insights. Dental issues and lung conditions, such as pneumonia, are also detected through specialized X-ray imaging. Consulting a healthcare provider ensures the right type of X-ray for accurate diagnosis.
X-rays are painless and simply require that you remain still while the image is taken. You should know, also, that the amount of radiation from one set of xrays is so minimal that it compares with one month of living in the mile-high city of Denver where you are closer to the sun. If you have had a recent x-ray or other imaging study regarding what is troubling you, we invite you to bring it to your appointment on a CD.
