How does it work?

Just like Digital photography, Digital X-ray works the same but, it uses x-radiation instead and can see through or see inside your body. It will take 1 image at a time and you will be asked to do different positions and sometimes be given breathing instructions while doing it. It is painless and it is quicker than a conventional x-ray.

Who can have Digital Radiography/X-ray?

From Pediatrics to Adults and even Geriatrics; male or female but for pregnant patients, it should be assessed properly by the referring doctor if the benefits can outweigh the risk.
Infants & Children

Sometimes these patients need extra motivation or extra effort to complete an x-ray. A parent or significant others are asked to hold, restrain or at least stay with the patient while being x-rayed. This person will be given proper protective measures and will not be exposed directly. Importantly this person must not be pregnant.

Why Digital Radiography/X-ray?

A non-invasive way to study parts of the body
Time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing of images
Ability to digitally transfer and enhance images

Risk:

Use of Ionizing radiation

Routine Operating Procedure in Digital Radiography:

The doctor’s request is reviewed first by the staff radiographer.
Safety questions are asked. (confirmation of Name & DOB, site of the problem, and pregnancy screening for females)
Hospital gowns are provided if needed to avoid artefacts on images.
The patient’s personal belongings (including phone, credit cards, money, etc.) are all placed in the locker provided.
The radiographer will explain what will be your position, breathing instruction if needed & how many pictures to take to complete the exam.
During all this time a patient is provided with lead protection to cover areas that are not involved in the examination for protection from unnecessary exposure.
Digital X-ray exams are painless, fast and exposed to a low dose of radiation. It is important that you remain perfectly still while the images are being captured. To know X-Ray's cost at DRHC radiology center call +97142798200.
