X-Ray (Papamoa Branch Only)

Plain Film X-Rays

An X-ray is the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

X-ray images are created by passing controlled amounts of radiation through the body. The radiation exiting from the body strikes a digital X-ray plate capturing this energy, the image is detected with a light camera and an image created with the aid of computer software.

X-ray imaging is the fastest and easiest way for a Doctor to view and assess broken bones and other skeletal abnormalities. At least two films are taken of a bone, and often three films if the problem is around a joint (knee, elbow, or wrist). X-rays are also taken of the Chest and Abdomen.
