Digital X-Ray Services in San Antonio

The X-ray exam is one of the most commonly used tests in an emergency room environment. It is a versatile test that is used regularly in routine care but also has many applications in making urgent diagnoses. X-rays can detect a variety of issues, including cancers, broken bones, and foreign objects. A gunshot wound victim could need an urgent X-ray to find a bullet so it can be removed or to see where bleeding needs to be stopped.


What is a Digital X-Ray?

Digital X-rays are used to diagnose many conditions and injuries. This test uses beams of specialized light that pass through the body, identifying different materials based on their density. For example, the air in your lungs shows up black because the rays go right through it. Muscle and fat will appear grey, while bones, metal, and most foreign objects will appear white. This allows doctors to interpret the images and diagnose many conditions.

Some digital X-rays will require a contrast substance to get better clarity. This is done using substances like barium and iodine.


What is X-Ray Imaging Used For?

X-rays can evaluate many medical conditions, including:

  • Fractures and arthritis.
  • Dental decay.
  • Bone cancer.
  • Lung infections (pneumonia).
  • Lung cancer.
  • Enlarged heart.
  • Digestive issues.
  • Swallowed objects.
