X-ray

X-ray can be used to produce an image of any body part.

Skeletal system: X-ray can detect bone fractures, calcification and soft tissue abnormalities.

Lungs: X-ray is used to identify diseases like pneumonia or lung cancer.

Abdomen: X-ray can detect obstructions of the intestine, fluid collection or stones in the gall bladder and urinary system.

X-rays are less costly when compared to the other imaging modalities like MRI or CT. However, the amount of information obtained is often limited.

X-ray exposes patients to ionizing radiation in very low doses that are generally not considered harmful to humans.
