Importantly! X-rays are often the first and decisive step in accurate diagnosis, especially in injuries and emergencies. However, in some cases, additional diagnostics may be required.
Main types of X-ray examinations
- Chest X-ray: A chest X-ray is widely used to diagnose diseases of the lungs, heart, large vessels, and ribs, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and heart failure.
- Abdominal X-ray: Allows you to examine abdominal organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and kidneys and diagnose conditions including kidney and gallbladder stones, bowel obstruction, and aortic aneurysms.
- X-ray of the spine: Focuses on the study of the structure and condition of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, helping to diagnose herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal injuries.
- X-rays of the joints (e.g., knee, hip): It is necessary to assess the condition of the joints, including the joint surfaces and surrounding tissues, to diagnose arthritis, osteoarthritis, and trauma.
- X-rays of the extremities (arms, legs): Provides detailed information about the bones of the arms and legs, including the fingers, and is used to detect fractures, cracks, bone deformities, and osteoporosis.

- X-ray of the neck: Used to study the structure of the cervical vertebrae, trachea, and larynx, it helps diagnose cervical osteochondrosis and neck injuries.
Importantly! The right type of X-ray examination determines the effectiveness of diagnostics by minimizing excessive ionizing radiation.
Preparation and conduct of an X-ray examination
X-rays are a standard medical procedure requiring a certain amount of training and attention to detail on the part of medical professionals and patients. Understanding the preparation process and the procedure itself helps to reduce anxiety and increases the effectiveness of the examination.
When preparing for the examination, it is necessary to carefully follow the doctor’s instructions, especially if prior abstinence from food or liquids is required. You should also remove all metal jewelry, glasses, prostheses, and other objects that may affect the quality of the image. It may be necessary to wear special medical clothing to avoid interference with normal clothing during the shooting process.
The X-ray examination procedure is as follows: The patient needs to get into a certain position, sometimes with special support devices, to provide the best view of the studied area. After that, follow the instructions (for example, when performing an X-ray of the lungs, you need to hold your breath for a few seconds).
The procedure takes only a few minutes, during which the patient must remain still to obtain a clear image.
Importantly! Women need to inform the doctor about a possible pregnancy, as X-rays are contraindicated for pregnant women, especially in the early stages. Also, notify healthcare professionals if you have allergies, especially to iodine-containing contrast agents.
Diagnostic value of X-rays
- Detection of bone fractures and fissures: X-rays can accurately determine the presence, location, and extent of the fracture, which is critical for proper treatment.
- Joint assessment: X-rays diagnose various joint diseases, including arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ligament damage.
- Detection of lung diseases: Chest X-rays can detect pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and other pathologies.
- Diagnosing diseases of the digestive system: X-rays of the abdomen help to detect ultras, obstructions, gallstones, and other problems.
- Detection of tumors and metastases: With the help of X-ray examinations, tumors in various organs and tissues, as well as their metastases, can be detected.
- Evaluation of teeth and jaw structures: X-rays of the jaws and teeth are used by dentists to diagnose tooth decay periodontal disease, and plan dental procedures.
Importantly! Choosing the appropriate type of X-ray according to the symptoms and the suspected diagnosis ensures maximum accuracy of the results.
Contraindications to X-rays
- Pregnancy: Especially in the first trimester, the fetus's organs form actively. Radiation, even in small doses, can pose a risk to the developing baby.
- Recent exposure: If the patient has recently undergone other ionizing radiation procedures (e.g., CT scans or other X-rays), the additional radiation exposure may increase the total exposure.
- Allergy to contrast agents: Some X-rays require using contrast agents, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people.
- Certain chronic diseases: X-rays may not be desirable in patients with chronic diseases, such as severe anemia or blood disorders.
Importantly! Before ordering an X-ray, it is important to weigh the potential risk against the diagnostic benefit, especially in vulnerable patient populations such as pregnant women and children. In some cases, the use of alternative diagnostic methods, such as ultrasound or MRI, that do not involve ionizing exposure may be considered.
