X-Rays

What are X-Rays and How Do They Work?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the body to create images of the internal structures. At MedPro Primary Care, our advanced x-ray technology provides high-resolution images that help our medical professionals diagnose and monitor various health conditions effectively.

When you receive an x-ray, a machine sends a small dose of radiation through the targeted area of your body. Different tissues absorb different amounts of the radiation, which creates an image or radiograph for our specialists to examine.

What is an X-Ray Used For?

X-rays are crucial diagnostic tools for evaluating a wide range of conditions. They help in:

Detecting fractures and dislocations: Quickly identify broken bones or joint dislocations.

Assessing infections: Identify signs of pneumonia, tuberculosis, or other conditions.

Monitoring diseases: Track progress of osteoporosis, arthritis, and more.

Checking for tumors: Detect abnormalities or masses in organs and tissues.

Evaluating dental health: Aid in detecting cavities, tooth decay, and other issues.

The Procedure: The procedure is quick and painless. You’ll need to remain still for a few moments while the image is taken.
