Your Source of Medical X-Ray Imaging in Gretna, Louisiana

X-ray imaging tests are painless procedures that allow doctors to diagnose diseases and injuries without being invasive.  These tests also help doctors to:

• Determine whether surgery is a good treatment option
• Locate tumors for treatment
• Determine  joint replacement options and treatment for fractures
• Guide in the treatment for dental, spine and chest illnesses and diseases

As in many areas of medicine, there are risks associated with the use of x-ray imaging, which uses ionizing radiation to create images of the body.  Because the amount of radiation used in a normal x-ray procedure is small, there is a small risk for the patient.   However, it is still important for patients to understand what to do if  an x-ray procedure is suggested.
