Digital X-Ray
Digital X-Ray uses small amounts of ionizing radiation to demonstrate anatomical structures.
During your procedure, you will be asked to lie on a special table and a radiographer will position you for the examination.
You may be required to have contrast agents, depending on the type of test ordered by your physician.
