General Radiology
X-ray is a familiar exam to most patients, which remains one of the most significant advances in all-medical diagnosis. X-ray, or radiography, refers to procedures that use standard x-rays to view parts of the body. This type of exam includes the common x-ray, tomography, and fluoroscopy. In all three procedures, a very low dose of radiation is used, which make x-rays extremely safe diagnostic tests.

Conventional radiography (x-ray) is a simple, painless procedure that enables the radiologist to analyze the bony and soft tissue anatomy for diagnosis. The pictures generated by x-ray are frequently used to diagnose fractures and pneumonias. The average x-ray study takes 15-20 minutes.
