Radiography (X-Ray)
What is radiography (X-ray)?
X-rays involve exposing a part of the body to a small dose of invisible, electromagnetic radiation to produce an image. They provide a rapid method of evaluating the entire body—especially the joints, bones and chest.
Main Line Health Imaging uses digital radiography (DR), which produces images in less time than to traditional X-rays with more accuracy. This means less chance for error and re-takes. The images can be printed on film or stored electronically.

Fluoroscopy: Viewing live X-ray images
Unlike a conventional X-ray, which shows a detailed yet static image, fluoroscopy allows a physician to see a live image of the body's internal organs on a TV monitor in order to observe their size, shape and movement.
Fluoroscopy uses a continuous beam of X-rays to evaluate structures and movement within the body, like blood moving through an artery, lung expansion and contraction or food moving through the digestive tract. It also can be used to help a physician locate a foreign object in the body, position a catheter or needle for a procedure or realign a broken bone.
