X-Ray (Radiography)
A foundational, non-invasive imaging technique used to view internal
structures, critical for early diagnosis and accurate clinical intervention.
The Standard in Structural Imaging
X-Ray is one of the most commonly used and basic imaging techniques to view the internal structures of the body, especially bones and the chest. It uses a small amount of radiation to create images, where dense structures like bones appear white, and softer tissues appear in shades of grey.
At AARNA Diagnostic Centre, we offer a wide range of X-Ray services including Chest, Spine, Skull, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, Abdomen, and Special Investigation X-Rays. A chest X-ray helps detect lung infections such as pneumonia or tuberculosis, as well as heart enlargement and fluid accumulation. Spine X-rays are useful in diagnosing fractures, alignment issues, and conditions like slipped discs. Limb X-rays are commonly used to identify fractures, joint dislocations, and arthritis.
The procedure is quick, simple, and non-invasive, usually completed within 5–10 minutes. The patient is positioned appropriately depending on the body part being examined, and images are captured instantly. No special preparation is generally required.
X-Rays are ideal for fast and initial diagnosis, especially in emergency cases. However, for more detailed imaging of soft tissues and organs, advanced scans like CT or Ultrasound may be recommended.
