What is X-Ray ?

X-ray is done to evaluate broken bones, the digestive tract and the thoracic cavity, including the heart and lungs. At Long Life Speciality Clinic, we offer digital X-ray facilities that are environment-friendly and accredited by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). Digital X-rays are safer in comparison to traditional X-rays as they lower the amount of radiation that the patient is exposed to and even makes it simpler and easier to transfer and share images. They can be used for routine X-rays as well as in specialised imaging studies like IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram).
