Digital imaging of bones, joints and chest inside the hospital, available for emergencies.
Diagnostics
X-ray
X-ray is the first test for most bone and joint problems, which is why it sits at the centre of an orthopedic hospital. With X-ray inside the building, an injured patient can be examined, imaged and treated in one visit.
Besides fractures and joint problems, X-rays are used to check the chest before surgery and to follow how a fracture is healing.
X-ray is used for
- Suspected fractures and dislocations
- Arthritis and joint wear
- Spine problems
- Chest X-ray before surgery
- Checking that fractures and implants are healing well
Before your X-ray
- Remove jewellery and metal objects from the area being imaged
- Tell staff if you are, or might be, pregnant
- Bring earlier X-rays so they can be compared
What to expect
