X-ray

X-ray is an imaging technique to show up abnormalities in bones and certain body tissue, such as breast tissue.

An x-ray is the most common form of diagnostic examination used as it is a quick and painless method to diagnose many health conditions such as:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Early signs of disease in organs and soft tissue
• Damage to joints
• Chest infections
