Outpatient X-Ray Imaging Morris County NJ | Progressive Diagnostic Imaging
X-Ray Imaging is the use of electromagnetic radiation in order to generate an image of bones and tissues within the body. X-Rays are commonly known for their use to diagnose potential broken bones and torn ligaments. At Progressive Diagnostic Imaging, we offer outpatient X-Ray Imaging in Riverdale, NJ to the folks in need throughout Morris County.
This modality is used in various medical processes. For instance, CT Scans combine the use of X-Ray imaging with advanced computer imaging to create a 3-dimensional view rather than traditional X-Ray’s 2-dimensional view. Additionally, X-Rays and other radiation are used in radiation therapy for cancer patients. X-Rays used for diagnostic purposes allow physicians to see inside the body to address potentially harmful faults the body may have. Progressive Diagnostic Imaging provides convenient outpatient X-Ray Imaging services for those in Morris County and northern New Jersey.
How Does Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging Work?
X-Ray imaging, as stated above, uses a source of high-energy radiation sent into the body and absorbed by a radiation detector on the opposite side. Because radiation is absorbed differently by different parts of the body an image can be generated. For Instance, bones absorb more radiation than muscle and fat. Therefore, physicians are able to produce a clear image of a patients bone structure without interference from the various tissues that surround these bones. Although X-Ray imaging uses high-energy beams of radiation, it is considered a small amount and does not pose an immediate risk to the patient.
