X-Ray Imaging at Dashvanth Healthcare
X-rays are the oldest and most widely used form of medical imaging. They use low doses of radiation to create images of internal structures, especially bones and the chest. At Dashvanth Healthcare Delhi, digital X-ray services are available with same-day reports.
Types of X-Rays
Chest X-Ray (CXR)
Most commonly ordered X-ray. Evaluates: lungs (pneumonia, TB, tumours, pleural effusion), heart size and shape, ribs and spine. Essential for TB screening and pre-operative assessment.
Bone X-Rays
- Hand/Wrist: Fractures, arthritis, bone age assessment
- Knee: Osteoarthritis grading (Kellgren-Lawrence), fractures
- Spine: Spondylosis, fractures, alignment
- Hip: Fractures, arthritis, AVN
- Skull/Facial Bones: Trauma, sinusitis
Abdomen X-Ray (AXR)
Bowel obstruction, perforation (free air under diaphragm), kidney stones, constipation assessment.
Radiation Safety
- Modern digital X-rays use very low radiation doses
- A chest X-ray equals about 10 days of natural background radiation
- Inform the radiographer if pregnant (abdominal shielding or alternative imaging)
- Children receive appropriate dose reduction protocols
Digital X-Ray Advantages
- Instant results – no development time
- Lower radiation dose than film X-ray
- Easy storage and sharing
