X-ray
X-ray is a quick and painless way to capture detailed images of your bones, joints, chest and other internal structures. Using only a small amount of radiation, it helps your doctor investigate injuries, pain and other symptoms so you can receive the right care sooner.
Why You Might Need an X-Ray
X-rays are one of the most commonly used diagnostic imaging examinations. They provide clear images of bones, joints and certain soft tissues, helping healthcare professionals diagnose injuries, investigate symptoms and monitor healing. Your doctor may recommend an X-ray to better understand the cause of pain, assess an injury or support ongoing treatment.
