What You Should Know About X-rays

X-rays are the most basic form of imaging tests used to view the body’s internal structures. You do not need to do anything to prepare for an X-ray, and the test should not cause any significant discomfort. These tests can help physicians diagnose fractures, tumors, arthritis, lung damage, and more.

X-rays utilize minimal amounts of radiation in order to create images. Radiation exposure from an X-ray should not cause any damage to an adult or child but could be dangerous for a developing baby. Additionally, if you have received other radiation-based imaging tests in the last year, you should tell the doctor. Exposure to imaging radiation several times in a short time could be damaging. Otherwise, these are among the safest medical procedures!
