Instant High‑Resolution Images – Digital enhancement provides superior detail for detecting hairline fractures, joint‑space narrowing, and subtle bone changes.

Digital Copies on Request – Soft copies (JPG/PDF) emailed or WhatsApp‑ed for second opinions, insurance claims, or personal records.

Walk‑In Friendly – No long waits; most scans take under 10 minutes.

Findings are correlated with your clinical examination, and a digital report is generated. Soft copies are provided on request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Do I need an appointment for a digital X‑ray?

A: Walk‑ins are welcome, but booking ahead reduces waiting time. Call 08048035347 or WhatsApp +91 96060 28161 to schedule.

Q2. How safe is digital X‑ray? Is the radiation harmful?

A: Digital radiography uses a significantly lower radiation dose than traditional film X‑rays. We follow strict safety protocols (ALARA principle – As Low As Reasonably Achievable) and use lead shielding where appropriate.

Q3. Can I get an X‑ray if I’m pregnant?

A: Please inform our team before the scan. X‑rays are generally avoided during pregnancy unless medically essential. If required, we take maximum precautions to minimise abdominal/pelvic exposure.

Q4. How long does the procedure take?

A: Most routine X‑rays take 5‑10 minutes, including positioning. You’ll usually receive the report the same visit.

Q5. When will I get my report?

A: Reports are typically ready the same day. Complex cases reviewed by our orthopedic specialist may take slightly longer.

Q6. Do you provide a digital copy of the X‑ray?

A: Yes. Soft copies (JPG/PDF) are available on request via WhatsApp or email – useful for second opinions, insurance claims, and your own records.

Q7. Are children’s X‑rays safe?

A: Yes. Our low‑dose system and child‑friendly positioning make it safe for children when clinically indicated. A parent/guardian must accompany minors.

Q8. How should I prepare for an X‑ray?

A: Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Remove metal items (jewellery, watches, belts, zips) from the area being scanned. Inform us if you have implants, pacemakers, or are pregnant.

Q9. Do I need a doctor’s referral for an X‑ray?

A: No referral is required, but a requisition helps us take the correct views. If you’re already consulting at our clinic, your orthopedic doctor will advise the appropriate imaging.

Q10. What’s the difference between digital and conventional X‑ray?

A: Digital X‑ray captures images electronically instead of on film – giving faster results, sharper detail, lower radiation, and easy digital storage/sharing.

Q11. Do you offer X‑rays for insurance or medico‑legal purposes?

A: Yes, we provide proper reports and digital copies suitable for insurance claims and records. Please inform us in advance about your requirements.

Q12. What are the charges for a digital X‑ray?

A: Charges depend on the body part and number of views. Please call 08048035347 for current rates.
