DIGITAL X-RAY

X-ray is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. Routine X-rays involve exposing a body part to a small dose of radiation to produce an image of an internal organ.
The plain postero-anterior (PA) chest film is the most frequently requested radiological examination. Visualisation of the lungs is excellent because of the incoherent contrast of the the tissues of the thorax.
X-rays are routinely used for diagnosis of various bone fractures and bone diseases.
They play an important role in diagnosis of types of fractures and their further management.

• Intravenous Pyelography (IVP)
• Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
