Digital X-Ray
What is an X-Ray?
How does it help?
- Digital X-rays as compared to traditional X-rays are sharper in imaging that help doctors make a more efficient diagnosis.
- Digital X-ray machines reduce exposure to radiation by at least 60% as compared to traditional machines
- They reserve a digital record of your scan in case you lose a report

Frequently Asked Questions
X-rays are images that use small doses of ionized radiation to take pictures of the inside of your body called radiographs.
For some types of X-ray tests, a contrast medium — such as iodine or barium — is introduced into your body to provide greater detail on the images.

Adverse effects from radiation dose absorbed in diagnostic practice are rare.
The amount of radiation you’re exposed to during an X-ray depends on the tissue or organ being examined. Sensitivity to the radiation depends on your age.
Generally, however, radiation exposure from an X-ray is low, and the benefits from these tests far outweigh the risks.
Only with your physician’s prescription and with certain special precautions, X-rays can be done in pregnant woman.
Though the risk of most diagnostic X-rays to an unborn baby is small, your doctor may consider another imaging test, such as ultrasound.
It depends on the imaging exam performed. Most general x-ray exams take 5 to 20 minutes.
However contrast related procedures take 30 minutes or more.
For general x-ray exams usually no preparation is required.
For some X ray procedures (i.e. contrast and barium studies) pre-procedure fasting or bowel preparation is required.
X ray equipment should be maintained by qualified staff and periodically tested. Radiation safety includes management of the doses patients are exposed to. Organizations like AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board) accredit facilities that fulfil safety related criteria.
