A computerized X-ray, also known as digital X-ray, is an advanced imaging technique that captures high-resolution images of bones, organs, and tissues using digital technology. Unlike traditional X-rays that use film, computerized X-rays provide faster, clearer, and more accurate images with reduced radiation exposure.

At Shalaka Imaging Center, we offer state-of-the-art computerized X-ray services for a wide range of diagnostic needs, ensuring quick and precise results.

How Does a Computerized X-Ray Work?

1. X-ray Generation – A controlled dose of X-ray beams is directed toward the body.
2. Digital Sensor Capture – Instead of film, a digital detector records the X-ray image.
3. Image Processing – The captured image is instantly processed and displayed on a computer screen for detailed analysis.
4. Diagnosis – A radiologist examines the image to detect fractures, infections, or abnormalities.

This process ensures faster image acquisition, better contrast, and enhanced diagnostic accuracy.

Uses of Computerized X-Ray

Computerized X-rays are widely used in various medical fields, including:

1. Bone and Joint Imaging

• Detects fractures, dislocations, and bone injuries.
• Assesses conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and joint degeneration.
• Evaluates spinal abnormalities such as scoliosis or disc degeneration.

2. Chest and Lung X-Rays

• Diagnoses pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Detects fluid buildup in the lungs (pleural effusion).
• Assesses heart enlargement and rib fractures.

3. Abdominal X-Rays

• Identifies kidney stones, gallstones, and intestinal obstructions.
• Helps detect abnormal growths, tumors, or foreign objects.

4. X-Ray Guided Procedures

We offer specialized X-ray-assisted diagnostic procedures, including:

• Sinogram – Examines abnormal sinus tracts or fistulas.
• Fistulogram – Evaluates abnormal connections between organs or tissues.
• Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) – Assesses kidney function and detects urinary tract obstructions.
• Barium Studies – Examines the digestive tract for ulcers, tumors, or swallowing disorders.

Advantages of Computerized X-Ray

• Faster & More Accurate Imaging – Digital processing enhances image quality and detail.
• Lower Radiation Exposure – Safer than traditional X-rays, making it ideal for repeated use.
• Instant Digital Reports – Reduces waiting time for diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Better Image Storage & Sharing – Digital records can be stored securely and shared with specialists if needed.
• Enhanced Contrast & Clarity – Allows radiologists to detect subtle abnormalities easily.
