The beginning of the chest X ray
The chest X-ray is indicated in several cases such as: cancer, fracture, intestinal occlusion, bacterial infection and inside the bones, lesion, and osteomyelitis... X-rays can penetrate living matter and thus observe the interior of the body.
This technique takes place in a few steps:
- First, the discussion with the radiologist before the procedure is important for a good physical and psychological preparation.
- On the day of the procedure, arrive a little early for a good preparation. Take off all clothes, remove all jewellery, and glasses.
- During the operation, the radiology technician enters you into the machine and a plate that creates the digital image. He will ask you to move in different positions to have a complete picture.
Thus, the images obtained at the end of the procedure vary according to the density of the tissues crossed by the X-rays.
The risks of radiography
Radiology is not a painful technique and does not present a risk if it is performed once or twice. However, repeating this technique several times can damage healthy cells and cause cancer. Eye cataract and burning of the skin will be the result of excessive X-ray exposure.
Pregnant women should inform the physician before performing radiology as it may cause negative effects on the fetus and the same thing for breastfeeding.
Radiography is a quick and easy exam that helps you to identify several health problems. But, there are several other reviews that are more useful like scanner and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
