X-ray inspection principle

X-ray is a kind of energy-containing radiation. When it penetrates the body, the energy particles, also called photons, are absorbed by the body tissues at different rates, thereby revealing the images and lesions of the organs and tissues in the body. Some high-density tissues such as bone tissue can block X-rays and appear white or gray on X-ray images.

application

The convenience and simplicity of X-ray imaging make it ideal for various medical diagnoses and preliminary screenings. The most common examination is used to diagnose bone (such as fractures, arthritis, etc.) and lung diseases (such as pneumothorax, pneumothorax, etc.) pneumonia, hydrops in the lungs, etc.), and abdominal X-rays can also help diagnose digestive tract problems (such as intestinal obstruction, etc.).Safety instructions

  • X-rays contain radiation. The dose of radiation received by the patient in each X-ray examination is extremely small, and the chance of causing harm to the body is very low. In addition, radiologists will use lead shields to cover parts of the body that are not required for diagnosis to reduce the impact of scattered radiation on the patient.
  • Women who may be pregnant should not have X-rays of their abdomen or pelvis.

Check process

Check process

  • When performing an X-ray examination, jewelry and other metal objects on the body need to be removed because these items may interfere with the image quality and affect the accuracy of the examination.
  • You need to remain still during the procedure and follow the technician’s instructions to take deep breaths, hold your breath, or maintain specific postures to ensure clear images.
  • Use protective measures when necessary, such as wearing lead protective clothing or shields to cover areas that do not need to be inspected.

Instructions after inspection

  • After completing the examination and the medical staff confirm that the patient does not have any discomfort or allergic reaction, the patient can leave
  • Medical staff will contact the patient to follow up on the examination report.
