Please, note that some types of X-ray require contrast enhancing to make visible all anatomical details of the target organ. Usually patient should take it orally, but sometimes it is injected intravenously. Human body excretes it with urine without any discomfort.

After any imaging study, the written report is given to the patient. In case of digital X-ray system, the result may be written on the removable device like CD or flash drive.

Usually there is no necessary preparations for your examination and you can undergo X-ray in the day of the first visit. Otherwise physician would give you all advice about preparation to increase accuracy of the procedure and arrange an appointment for you. If you are making an appointment by yourself via our site or phone call, please, carefully read through "Preparation" section.

With X-ray radiologist gets a digital image of the target organ. The patient stands in front of the tube of the X-ray system for a couple of seconds. In Medscan clinics X-ray examination does not take a lot of time and does not require any special preparations. For the patient`s safety he or she should wear protection suit with lead plates to minimize risk of exposition for other parts of the body. Medscan radiologist would tell you exactly where to stand and how to act during the X-ray study.

X-ray is usually used in purpose to:

• Lung pathology screening;
• Early detection of congenital abnormalities;
• Tumours and other neoplasms detection;
• Evaluation of fractures, bone and spinal dislocations;
• Estimation of bone condition in patients with arthrosis;
• As part of work-up of kidney stone disease;
• Diagnosis of ENT-pathology;
• Physician may order X-ray study in case of headache, shortness of breath, syncope, cough, fever, traumas, hormonal imbalance and many other conditions.

Despite all modern technology, X-ray remain as an actual method in radiologist tool kit. It has dozens of undeniable advantages and for clinical practice the most important are:

• High availability comparing with CT or MRI;
• Low radiation dose exposure comparing with CT;
• Low susceptibility to artefacts from metal implants and devices which is main challenge for magnetic resonance imaging;
• Opportunity to perform examination of various parts of the body in different posture, including standing up and under load.

При записи на исследование следует обратить особое внимание на то, что некоторые виды рентгенологических исследований проводят с введением специального контрастного вещества для выявления точной анатомической структуры органа. При некоторых типах рентгена его вводят внутривенно, в других случаях — с использованием катетера. Полностью из организма выводится раствор в течение 48 часов.
