What is Digital X-Ray?
A Digital X-Ray is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses low-dose radiation to create detailed images of your bones and tissues. These images are displayed in varying shades of black, white, and gray to indicate the density and composition of different body tissues. For example:
- Bones appear white because they absorb the most radiation due to their high calcium content.
- Soft tissues (such as muscles and fat) absorb less radiation, appearing in shades of gray.
- Lungs and air-filled areas absorb the least radiation, appearing black on the X-ray.
Digital X-rays are highly effective in providing clear and precise images of the body’s internal structures, allowing our team to diagnose conditions and plan appropriate treatments.
