X-Rays

Comprehensive X-ray and Fluoroscopic Imaging Services

Our X-ray Services provide a full range of general radiography and fluoroscopic examinations, performed with precision and care to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning across diverse medical specialties. Utilizing modern digital imaging systems, we ensure high-quality images with reduced radiation exposure and rapid result delivery.

1. General (Plain) X-rays

We perform all standard plain X-ray examinations, covering:

  • Chest X-rays – for evaluating lung fields, cardiac silhouette, and thoracic structures

  • Skeletal X-rays – including spine, limbs, joints, and skull for trauma, degenerative disease, or pathology

  • Abdominal X-rays – for detecting intestinal obstruction, stones, or abnormal calcifications

These studies are critical for routine diagnostics, trauma evaluation, pre-operative planning, and follow-up assessments.

2. Contrast and Fluoroscopic Studies

Our facility also offers a wide range of contrast-enhanced and fluoroscopic X-ray procedures, designed to visualize internal organs, cavities, and systems in real time for detailed evaluation.

Key procedures include:

  • Barium Studies
    Comprehensive imaging of the gastrointestinal tract using barium sulfate contrast, including:

    • Barium Swallow – for assessing the esophagus

    • Barium Meal and Follow-Through – for examining the stomach and small intestine

    • Barium Enema – for evaluating the large intestine and colon

  • Fistulograms
    Performed to assess abnormal tracts or fistulous connections between organs or skin surfaces. This study is crucial in identifying fistula origins, course, and associated complications for surgical or medical management.

  • Cystourethrogram (CUG)in full: Micturating Cystourethrogram (MCUG)
    This dynamic fluoroscopic study evaluates the urinary bladder and urethra, especially in children or adults with recurrent urinary tract infections, reflux, or suspected urethral obstruction. It provides valuable information about bladder function during filling and voiding.

  • Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
    A specialized gynecological imaging procedure that assesses the uterus and fallopian tubes. Using contrast media, it helps identify tubal blockages, uterine anomalies, or infertility-related issues, and is often performed as part of fertility evaluations.

3. Digital Imaging and Data Management

All X-ray and fluoroscopic studies are conducted using digital radiography systems, allowing:

  • High-resolution image capture and storage

  • Immediate image review and remote access by radiologists

  • Secure, centralized archiving for long-term record retention

  • Efficient sharing of results with referring physicians for timely diagnosis and intervention

4. Commitment to Diagnostic Excellence

Our X-ray services combine modern imaging technology, experienced radiologic technologists, and expert radiologist interpretation to deliver clear, accurate, and timely diagnostic results. With our commitment to patient safety, efficiency, and diagnostic precision, we ensure that each examination contributes meaningfully to high-quality patient care.
