Digital X-ray

Digital X-ray is a modern diagnostic method that uses a low dose of radiation to image the body's internal structures.

At Medical Time hospital, we use modern digital equipment that allows for precise and fast diagnostics.

Unlike a classic X-ray, digital devices provide better image quality and less radiation exposure.

X-ray images are displayed instantly on the screen and analyzed in real time.

Digital X-rays are used to image bones, lungs, sinuses, the abdomen, and joints.

The examination takes only a few minutes and, in most cases, does not require special preparation.

Our radiologists quickly interpret the images and issue a report with an explanation.

Digital images are stored in an electronic file and are easily accessible for further analysis.

The examination is painless, efficient, and can be combined with other diagnostic procedures.

Medical Time provides digital X-ray services without waiting and with maximum precision.

Who is a digital X-ray recommended for?

Digital X-rays are recommended for suspected fractures, infections, arthritis, and changes in the lungs.

It is also a standard part of diagnostics for injuries, bone pain, and postoperative check-ups.

It is also used for monitoring chronic lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic bronchitis.

For dental and ENT diseases, an X-ray of the sinuses and jaw is often performed.

For patients who have a cough, fever, or chest pain, a lung scan is recommended.

The examination is very useful for osteoporosis, spinal deformities, and degenerative joint changes.

A digital X-ray allows doctors to accurately determine a diagnosis and monitor the course of treatment.

For children and the elderly, special protection and techniques to reduce radiation are used.

The examination can be performed without a referral, by appointment or walk-in.

How to prepare for a digital X-ray?

Preparation for a digital X-ray depends on the region being scanned, but in most cases it is minimal.

For scanning the lungs and bones, no special preparation is required other than removing jewelry and metal objects.

Our technicians inform patients about everything they need to know before the scan.

Pregnant women should inform the staff, as X-rays are avoided during pregnancy except in emergency cases.

The examination is performed quickly, and the patient can immediately resume their daily activities.

In case of additional questions, the medical team is always available for clarification.

Proper preparation and patient cooperation enable a quality image and accurate interpretation of the findings.

Medical Time ensures professional staff and all conditions for safe diagnostics.

What does the examination look like?

A digital X-ray examination is performed with the patient standing, sitting, or lying down, depending on the area being scanned.

The technician places the body part to be imaged under the device and gives brief instructions.

The device takes one or more exposures that last a few seconds.

Our digital system immediately displays the image on the monitor for quality control.

If necessary, the technician repeats the scan from another angle for a complete assessment.

The entire procedure lasts on average 5 to 10 minutes and the patient does not feel any pain.

Radiologists then analyze the images and create a written report.

All images are stored digitally and are available in electronic format.

Advantages of a digital X-ray

Digital X-ray has numerous advantages over older imaging methods.

The biggest advantage is the lower radiation dose while maintaining superior image quality.

Digital records allow for easy analysis, enlargement, and comparison with previous images.

The images can be immediately forwarded to specialist doctors via the electronic system.

Time savings and reduced radiation exposure make this method suitable for both early diagnosis and monitoring therapy.

The system enables a quick response in urgent situations such as fractures and pneumonia.

There is no need to develop films or wait for results.

Our doctors have access to the images immediately after the scan is completed, which speeds up the diagnosis.

Patients receive a copy of the image on a CD or by email upon request.

At Medical Time, diagnostics are available immediately, with a complete digital overview of the patient's condition.

Application of Digital X-ray

Digital X-ray has a wide application in almost all areas of medicine.

It is most commonly used in orthopedics, pulmonology, stomatology, neurology, and rheumatology.

In patients with joint and back pain, it reveals degenerative changes and deformities.

In the diagnosis of lung diseases, a chest X-ray is the first step in detecting inflammation, tumors, and heart enlargements.

For extremity injuries, it allows for the quick detection of fractures and dislocations.

A sinus X-ray is used for chronic infections and sinusitis.

For problems with the digestive tract, it is used as an additional method alongside ultrasound and endoscopy.

In emergency cases, an X-ray helps in making quick therapeutic decisions.

The images can be used for planning surgeries and interventions.

At Medical Time, every patient receives a recommendation for an X-ray based on a clinical indication and examination.
