Diagnostic Radiology

Diagnostic X-rays were the first images developed in the field of Radiology. They capture a picture of the inside of your body and serve as a quick and painless way to evaluate disease. Today, there are many diagnostic mechanisms such as a MRI, CAT-Scan and Ultrasound which assist in diagnosing conditions in the chest, bone, pelvis, sinuses, skull and spine. A minimal amount of radiation passes through your body during an X-ray, and should be of no concern.

This video explains what an X Ray is and what to expect when undergoing an X-Ray procedure.
