What are General X-Rays?

A general X-ray is a type of imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation to create images of your bones and some soft tissues. It's a highly versatile tool used for a wide range of diagnostic purposes, including: • Fractures: X-rays are the gold standard for identifying broken bones, showing their location and severity. • Joint problems: X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, joint deformities, and calcium deposits. • Chest abnormalities: Chest x-rays can help diagnose pneumonia, infections, and even certain lung cancers. • Abdominal issues: X-rays can sometimes detect bowel obstructions, kidney stones, or foreign objects in your digestive system.

Benefits of General X-Rays at Medpoint Radiology:

• Fast and Painless: X-ray exams are typically quick and painless, often completed within minutes. • Non-invasive: No needles or incisions are required for an X-ray. • Cost-effective: X-rays are a relatively inexpensive imaging modality compared to other options. • Detailed Images: X-rays provide clear and detailed images of your bones and some internal structures.

What to Expect During a General X-Ray:

• The radiographer will position you based on the area being examined. • You may be asked to wear a lead gown to protect certain parts of your body from radiation. • The radiographer will take several X-ray images from different angles. • The images will then be interpreted by a radiologist, who will send a report to your doctor.
