Digital X-ray
Digital X-ray is one of the most fundamental and widely used diagnostic methods in medicine, enabling the rapid visualization of the body’s bones and certain soft tissue structures using X-rays. The digital technology used at Egemed Hospital allows for the production of high-quality images in a matter of seconds, with a radiation dose that is significantly lower than that of traditional X-ray methods.
The Benefits of Digital X-Rays
- Low Radiation: Thanks to the high sensitivity of digital detectors, clear images can be obtained using significantly less X-ray radiation than with traditional film.
- Image Processing: By adjusting settings such as brightness, contrast, and zoom on the captured digital recordings, even the smallest details can be examined by our experts.
- Quick Sharing: Results are transferred to our digital archive (PACS) without waiting for the films to be developed and are reviewed immediately by your doctor.
In Which Situations Is It Applied?
Digital X-rays, a fast and effective primary diagnostic method, are critical in the following areas:
| • Orthopedics: Suspected fractures, dislocations, and osteoporosis. | • Pulmonology: Monitoring of lung infections and pneumonia. |
| • Cardiology: Assessment of heart size and vascular structures. | • Spine: Analysis of scoliosis and postural abnormalities. |
| • Teeth and Jaw: Oral health analysis using panoramic X-rays. | • Emergency Department: Rapid screening of internal organs and bones in cases of injury. |
About the Application Process
How Is It Done? Our technician will guide you into the appropriate position—either standing or lying on the table—depending on the area to be scanned. You will be asked to remain completely still for a few seconds during the procedure. No preparation is required, and it is completely painless.
Pregnancy Status: Since X-rays are used during imaging procedures, patients who are pregnant or suspect they may be pregnant must inform their doctor and our technician before the procedure.
