X-ray in Dnipro

In most cases, radiography does not require preliminary preparation, and the examination result can be obtained immediately after its completion.

In what cases is radiography prescribed?

Radiography is prescribed for quick and accurate diagnostics of diseases of internal organs, soft tissue injuries, and bone fractures. X-ray allows the doctor to assess the degree and nature of the damage or structural changes in the organ (inflammation, presence of lumps, neoplasms), as well as to identify inflammation foci or latent bleeding.

Radiography of the lungs is prescribed to identify pathological processes in the respiratory organs and make an accurate diagnosis. Patients with suspected pneumonia (pulmonary fever) and symptoms of other pulmonary diseases are referred for testing.

Digital X-ray of the lungs differs from the traditional one by lower radiation exposure and increased image clarity. The examination result is not recorded on film, but processed by a computer program and recorded on a digital medium. A digital x-ray of the lungs, if indicated, can be prescribed by a doctor as a preventive examination.

Is an X-ray dangerous?

During an X-ray, a person receives a certain dose of radiation, but it is so small that it cannot harm health. But X-rays cannot be done often – excessive radiation exposure to the body can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, the maximum permissible dose of radiation per year has been established - 1–2 mSv. If it is not exceeded, X-ray examinations are safe for health.

In addition, modern X-ray machines provide high-definition images with minimal radiation exposure. Radiography is not dangerous if performed strictly by medical prescription. X-ray makes it possible to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe effective therapy, so it is more useful than harmful.
