X-Rays

X-ray or radiography is an imaging technique used to help diagnose bone fractures, soft tissue injury, or infection by using a small dose of radiation to produce pictures of the body’s internal structures. Different parts of the body absorb the x-rays in varying degrees which allows x-ray imaging to also be used to locate a foreign object in the body. No radiation remains in a patient’s body after an x-ray examination so the procedure is painless and relatively safe given the minimal radiation exposure. CareFirst Medical has onsite digital x-ray services so that you can get your imaging required of you done in just minutes.
