X-RAY

X-ray is an imaging technique used to see internal structures in the body. It uses X-rays to “visualize” the inside of the body and provide information about bones, organs, and tissues. X-ray is one of the most common medical imaging techniques.

Areas of Use of X-Ray:

Bone Fractures and Injuries: It is widely used in cases where bones are broken, cracked or displaced.
Lung Diseases: Used to detect lung diseases such as lung infections, pneumonia, tumors, and tuberculosis.
Dental Health: Used by dentists for tooth decay, tooth root problems and gum problems.
Internal Bleeding or Swelling: Can be used to detect problems that may occur in the abdominal area.
Foreign Bodies: X-rays may also be taken to detect foreign bodies that have entered the body.

X-rays are usually quick, painless and non-invasive, but overuse can release levels of radiation that can harm the body, so doctors usually recommend them only when necessary.
