WHAT IS AN CONVENTIONAL X-RAY EXAMINATION?
- A technique where x-rays produced by x-ray machines are used to obtain images of the internal structures of the body.
- Medical imaging helps physicians to diagnose multiple different medical conditions.
- Bone, air and soft tissue outlines can be visualised.
- During some special radiological examinations contrast material is administered orally, into a body cavity, or into a blood vessel to demonstrate or delineate specific body structures, which may otherwise be difficult or impossible to see.
- Some contrast materials contain iodine and it is important to notify the radiographer if you are allergic to iodine.
