X-rays, also known as radiographs, are the most established and commonly utilized form of medical imaging. These procedures generate images of the body’s internal structures, aiding physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. During an X-ray, beams penetrate the body, producing images in shades of black, white, and gray. With a physician’s request, an X-ray can be performed at any time. Examples of these exams would be a chest, abdomen, or extremity.
There is no preparation for this exam.
