About this test
Still the fastest and cheapest way to answer a large number of clinical questions — a fracture, a chest infection, a bowel obstruction. Digital acquisition uses a lower dose than film and the image is available to the radiologist immediately.
What it measures
- Chest, abdomen and skeletal views
- Spine and joint radiographs
- Post-operative and follow-up films
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
