X-ray is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians to make a diagnosis. It is most commonly performed to evaluate the lungs, heart size, bowel and bones.

What is General X-ray?

Women should always inform the radiographer if there is any possibility that they might be pregnant. Should the x-rays be necessary, precautions will be taken to minimize the radiation exposure to the baby.

Take note:
Depending on the area that will be examined, you may want to wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a gown for the examination and to remove any jewellery or other metallic items from your body before the examination.

How is General X-ray done?

It is a quick, painless procedure that involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body.

To create a radiograph, you will be positioned with the part of the body being imaged between the x-ray source and the detector. On exposure, the x-rays will travel through the body and are absorbed in different amounts by different tissues, depending on the density of the tissue they pass through. This will produce a diagnostic image.

While X-rays involve exposure to radiation, the amount is typically low and considered safe.
Protective measures, such as lead aprons, are often used to minimize exposure to surrounding tissues.
This is a valuable tool in medical diagnostics, providing essential information for the assessment and
treatment of various health conditions.
