Digital Radiography X-ray/Fluoroscopy
Digital radiography x-ray provides static images of specific body parts to diagnose breaks or fractures. Grant Memorial Hospital uses the latest wireless digital detector to achieve the maximum clinical versatility and productivity.
X-rays are used to diagnose various conditions of the lungs, including pneumonia, as well as tumors and changes of heart failure. They are also used to diagnose fractures and other abnormalities of bones, joint conditions, and causes of abdominal pain.
Fluoroscopy involves using x-rays to take “live” images of the body. It is typically used to examine the gastrointestinal tract, such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.
