Diagnostic Imaging

X-ray is a technique of imaging wherein images of the various internal organs, bones, and tissues of patients are obtained by focusing a considerable amount of radiation on these parts. The technique is especially used to detect various kinds of abnormalities lying internally in the blood vessels, bones, heart or lungs.

The first step for any Diagnosis is it effectively spot several internal abnormalities from tuberculosis, cancer, collapsed lungs, and other conditions that pose a threat to life if not detected and treated at an early stage.

Persistent ailments can only be resolved when an X-ray is done. Coughing is usually taken to be not a very serious thing and is usually expected to stop within a week. However, persistent coughing accompanied by chest pain and difficulty in breathing can be a symptom of various adverse health conditions such as Pneumonia, Lung Cancer, Broken Ribs, Heart Failure, Emphysema and more, which can only be identified with a Chest X-Ray.
