X-Ray

X-ray is a type of radiation that is safe and painless and used to produce images of the inside of the body. As x-rays pass through the body, energy particles (called photons) are absorbed at different rates. This pattern of absorption is what makes the X-ray image.

The parts of your body that are made up of dense material, for example bones, show up as clear white areas on an X-ray image. The parts of your body which are made of soft tissue, for example your heart & lungs, show up as darker areas. It is a very effective way of looking at bones and areas of calcification, or joints for damage or inflammation. X-rays can also be used to identify certain soft tissues and organs for signs of pathology.

Successful treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. Jivaka doctors take the time to get it right.:
