Digital X-Ray Imaging has been a common diagnostic tool for a long time, and they continue to be helpful and effective for many reasons. Our imaging technology allows us to take digital X-Rays and immediately see the picture on a computer. This allows us to review the results right away and give you a faster diagnosis for your pain or health concern. X-Ray imaging can be done on any part of the body, while the patient is standing, sitting, or lying down. The film will be behind the body part being X-Rayed, while the “camera” is in front of it. X-Rays send a quick burst of radiation through your body, allowing us to see what your bones look like on the inside. While there are minor risks associated with digital X-Rays, they are generally considered safe and are more beneficial than harmful in most cases.
One of the most popular and effective diagnostic tools available, X-Ray imaging continue to provide doctors with great insight into the health of a patient’s body. Digital X-Rays are used to examine the health of teeth, search for a break in a bone, diagnose a dislocated joint, and identify arthritis. Since bones are so hard and dense, the X-Ray radiation is stopped by them, giving us a clear picture of what your bones look like. If you’re experiencing pain that you suspect is linked to your bones, a digital X-Ray will be the first step in the diagnostic process.
While broken bones are the most common reason digital X-Rays are done, they can do far more than just detecting a break or fracture. X-Ray imaging can find the location of something that a child may have swallowed, and they can detect signs of tuberculosis and pneumonia in the lungs. X-Rays can expose tumors or masses and possibly even detect cancer. They can show doctors where they might be bone, joint, or spinal misalignments, which can help them trace problems back to the root cause of the issue. Our orthopedic doctors at AICA Orthopedics believe in whole-body health and comprehensive medical care, so we’ll be as thorough as possible in our diagnostic processes, and we’ll refer you to other specialists if we need a second opinion or if their services are better suited to your medical needs.
X-Rays are valuable tools that the orthopedic specialists at AICA rely upon to properly diagnose and treat pain and injury. Each specialty has a different purpose for utilizing X-Ray technology.

But the importance of X-Rays for each specialty still remains. When you seek treatment at AICA, our specialists are sure to use X-Rays for determining the specific cause of pain and injury to guarantee you the most up to date, reliable treatment options available.
