X-Ray
X-rays are a form of radiation. This radiation is used to produce "pictures" of the bones and organs.
X-rays of the bones allow the physician to ensure that fractured bones are aligned properly and stabilized for healing.
X-ray images are also used to diagnose and monitor the progression of degenerative diseases such as arthritis. Regular x-rays are used to determine severe osteoporosis and to detect early loss of bone density.
Preparation for a Routine X-Ray:
- General x-rays do not require specific preparation.
- If you're pregnant or are uncertain as to pregnancy, you should consult your physician.
