Computerized X-ray, also known as digital X-ray, is the modern upgrade to traditional X-ray technology. This advanced imaging technique produces higher quality images with less radiation exposure, enabling our medical team to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Radiography, commonly referred to as X-ray, is one of the most widely used diagnostic procedures for screening and diagnosing various health conditions. During an X-ray examination, the patient is positioned so that the area requiring imaging is placed between an X-ray source and a digital detector. As X-rays pass through the body, different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation, creating a detailed image of internal structures.
At MM Hospital, our state-of-the-art computerized X-ray facility uses the latest digital technology to produce high-resolution images that are immediately available for review by our radiologists and physicians. This allows for faster diagnosis and treatment planning, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Benefits of Computerized X-Ray
Our advanced digital X-ray system offers numerous advantages over traditional film-based X-rays, providing both patients and healthcare providers with significant benefits:
Reduced Radiation
Digital X-rays require up to 80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, enhancing patient safety while maintaining diagnostic quality.
Superior Image Quality
Digital technology provides enhanced clarity and detail, allowing for better visualization of structures and more accurate diagnoses.
Real-Time Imaging
Images are produced instantly and can be viewed immediately, eliminating the waiting time associated with developing traditional film X-rays.
Digital Enhancement
Images can be digitally adjusted to optimize contrast, brightness, and magnification without requiring additional exposures.
Environmentally Friendly
Digital X-rays eliminate the need for film processing chemicals, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional methods.
Easy Image Sharing
Digital images can be easily shared electronically with specialists for consultation, ensuring comprehensive patient care.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
The digital X-ray system at MM Hospital provides superior image quality with enhanced detail and depth. This advanced technology enables our radiologists and physicians to:
Digital X-rays can reveal tiny fractures or imperfections that might be missed with traditional imaging. The ability to manipulate digital images—adjusting contrast, brightness, and magnification—allows our specialists to examine structures in greater detail without requiring additional X-ray exposures. This results in more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment plans for our patients.
At MM Hospital, we have our very own computerized X-ray facility that makes it easy for you to access it quickly and for us to examine your condition more thoroughly. Our team of experienced radiologists and technicians work together to ensure that each X-ray provides the highest quality images for accurate diagnosis.
X-ray procedures are quick, painless, and non-invasive. You'll be positioned by our technician so that the area being examined is between the X-ray machine and the digital detector. You may be asked to hold your breath briefly to prevent movement from blurring the image. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, and results are often available for review by your doctor shortly afterward.
Our digital X-ray technology uses significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays—up to 80% less. The amount of radiation used in diagnostic X-rays is considered safe for most patients. However, we take additional precautions for pregnant women and children. Our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure that radiation exposure is kept to the absolute minimum necessary to obtain quality diagnostic images.
Most X-rays require no special preparation. You may be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, or any metal objects from the area being examined, as these can block X-rays. For some exams, you might need to change into a hospital gown. It's important to inform our staff if you are pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant, as special precautions may be needed.
One of the major advantages of our computerized X-ray system is the quick availability of results. In many cases, images are available for review by our radiologists almost immediately after the procedure. Depending on the urgency of your case and the complexity of the findings, your doctor may discuss the results with you on the same day or during a follow-up appointment.
Yes, you can request a copy of your X-ray images for your personal records or to share with other healthcare providers. Since our system is digital, we can provide your images on a CD or DVD, or securely share them electronically. There may be a small fee for this service. Please speak with our radiology department staff for more information on obtaining copies of your images.
