Scans & X-Rays

Scans and X-rays are essential diagnostic tools used in medicine to assess internal body structures and detect various health conditions. These tests provide valuable insights into bone health, tissue conditions, and abnormalities in organs.

What are they?

Scans and X-rays use radiation or sound waves to produce images of the inside of your body.

Common types include:

Echocardiogram (2D Echo): Evaluates heart function. Doppler Studies: Measures blood flow in various body parts.

X-Ray Abdomen & Chest: Detects issues like fractures, lung problems, and gastrointestinal conditions.

Ultrasound (e.g., Abdominal, Pelvis, Fetal Well-being): Assesses organs and fetal health.

Why is it important?

Scans and X-rays are vital for detecting abnormalities early, diagnosing injuries, and monitoring disease progression. They provide critical information for treatment planning and prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What conditions can scans and X-rays detect?

They can identify fractures, infections, tumors, blood flow issues, and organ abnormalities.

How soon will I get results?

X-ray results are typically available in a few hours, while Doppler studies and echocardiograms may take 24-48 hours.

Who should take these tests?

Anyone with symptoms like pain, swelling, or difficulty breathing, or those undergoing routine health checks.

Are there any risks?

While X-rays use radiation, the exposure is generally minimal and considered safe. Doppler ultrasounds are non-invasive and safe.

Do I need any preparation?

Some tests require fasting or a full bladder; consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
