Digital skiagraphy (X-ray) is a first-line diagnostic imaging exam that uses a small dose of X-rays to capture images of bones, joints, the chest and other tissues. The differential absorption of the beam across tissue types is recorded on a digital detector, producing high-contrast images of fractures, lung conditions and skeletal problems. At the MEDIAG department inside 1. poliklinika Karlovy Vary the workstations are fully digital, so images go straight to high-resolution diagnostic monitors and the PACS network rather than to film — meaning lower radiation dose and no developing chemicals. X-ray here is offered on a walk-in basis during working hours, so a referral can usually be imaged the same day without an appointment.
About this treatment
Digital skiagraphy is the most common diagnostic imaging method and is usually the first investigation ordered for suspected fractures, bone and joint problems, and chest complaints affecting the lungs. The technique passes a small, controlled dose of X-rays through the body; denser tissues such as bone absorb more of the beam, while softer tissues absorb less, and the pattern that reaches the detector is reconstructed into a greyscale image.
