What Is an X-ray—and When It’s Needed
An X-ray is a fast, non-invasive imaging test used to examine bones, organs, and soft tissue. It uses low-dose radiation to create internal images of the body.
Doctors may recommend an X-ray to:
-
Check for bone fractures or dislocations
-
Assess persistent cough or chest pain
-
Monitor joint or spine conditions
-
Evaluate injuries after trauma
-
Look for infection, swelling, or foreign bodies
All imaging is performed by licensed radiologic technologists following safety protocols.
