What is an X-ray?
X-ray (also called radiography) is an imaging procedure which uses ionizing radiation to create a 2D still image that shows the inside part of the body. X-rays detect diseases and damage to bones or organs, as well as other abnormalities and foreign objects. The X-ray creates a grayscale image showing bones appearing white or light-grey with soft tissue and air having a significantly darker shade.
X-rays are one of the most widely used imaging methods for diagnosing the treatment of injuries or diseases. Different types of radiography are mammography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography. X-rays are the best option to examine the lungs to determine the presence of foreign bodies or diseases.

Suppose your physician ordered an X-ray examination, and you’re unsure how to prepare. In that case, our staff at our imaging centre will be able to answer your questions regarding how to prepare, what to be expecting during the exam, and the time you can anticipate the results. It is also recommended to consult your physician of choice for additional details before taking an operation that requires medical consent. In reality, for Mason Imaging, an order from your doctor is required to make an appointment for an X-ray.
Benefits of X-Ray Over Other Imaging Modalities
