3D CT Hip

Need a closer look inside without the wait? A Digital X-Ray at Cadabams Diagnostics delivers high-resolution images in minutes, helping doctors spot fractures, infections, and other concerns quickly—so you can move forward with confidence.

Traditional film is replaced by an electronic sensor that captures the image and sends it straight to a computer. That means:

• No chemical processing
• Instant image review and adjustment
• 30–50 % lower radiation dose
• Secure cloud storage for easy sharing with your doctor

How Digital X-Ray Works

A small burst of radiation passes through the body. Dense structures (bones, metal implants) appear white, while softer tissues show in shades of gray. The digital plate records the pattern and converts it into a detailed picture within seconds.

Equipment & Technology Used

Cadabams Diagnostics uses FDA-approved DR (Direct Radiography) systems with:

• 16-bit image depth for subtle soft-tissue detail
• Automatic exposure control to minimise retakes
• Integrated PACS (Picture Archiving & Communication System) for instant report access

• Chest X-Ray – lungs, heart size, rib cage
• Bone & Joint X-Ray – limbs, spine, skull
• Abdominal X-Ray – kidney stones, bowel gas pattern
• Dental X-Ray – impacted teeth, cavities, bone loss

• Image Clarity & Resolution – sharp cortical margins
• Bone Density & Alignment – joint spaces, fracture lines
• Soft-Tissue Shadows – foreign bodies, air pockets

• Injury Diagnosis – rule out fracture after a fall
• Chronic Pain Assessment – identify arthritic changes
• Routine Health Check-ups – baseline before physiotherapy

Choose a Digital X-Ray if you experience:

• Sudden pain or swelling after an injury
• Persistent cough or breathing difficulty
• Joint stiffness or reduced mobility
• Pre-employment or visa medical requirements

Common Medical Conditions

• Sports injuries, sprains, suspected fractures
• Pneumonia, tuberculosis screening
• Osteoarthritis follow-up
• Bowel obstruction evaluation

Age Groups & Special Cases

• Newborns: hip dysplasia screening
• Children: growth-plate injuries
• Adults: chest screening before surgery
• Seniors: vertebral compression checks

• Lower Radiation Dose – up to 50 % less than film
• Faster Results – preview on the console in 5 seconds
• Digital Storage & Sharing – access past images anytime via secure portal

• Fractures & Dislocations
• Lung Infections – pneumonia, COVID complications
• Arthritis & Joint Disorders – osteophytes, narrowing

What to Wear

Opt for cotton clothing without metal buttons or zips. Cadabams provides disposable gowns if needed.

Items to Remove

Jewellery, belts, bras with under-wires, hearing aids, and pocket change.

Medication & Food Guidelines

No fasting required for routine X-Rays. If contrast is needed (rare), staff will advise separately.

• Doctor’s Prescription – printed or digital
• Previous Reports (if any) – for comparison
• Pregnancy Declaration – mandatory for women aged 12–55

Morning vs. Evening

Morning slots reduce wait times; walk-ins welcome till 8 p.m.

Emergency vs. Routine Scheduling

24×7 emergency service at the main centre; routine appointments available every 30 minutes at four branches.

• Adults & Children – safe for all ages
• Pregnant Women – performed only when essential and after counselling
• Patients with Implants – prosthetic joints, pacemakers pose no problem; please inform the technologist

Step-by-Step Process

1. Register at reception with ID and prescription
2. Change into provided gown if required
3. Technologist positions the relevant body part on the detector plate
4. Hold still for 1–2 seconds while the image is captured
5. Review for positioning; retake if motion blur detected (rare)

Positioning Techniques

Standing, lying, or sitting—adjusted for comfort and diagnostic accuracy.

Duration of the Scan

Most studies finish within 5 minutes; complex series (e.g., full spine) take up to 15 minutes.

• Informing Staff About Pregnancy – even if uncertain
• Allergy & Contrast Precautions – rare for plain X-Ray, but still declare any iodine sensitivity

Radiation Exposure Concerns

The dose is comparable to 3–5 days of natural background radiation—safe for most adults. Children and pregnant patients receive tailored, lowest-possible settings.

Situations Where Results May Be Limited

• Early stress fractures may not be visible within the first 7–10 days
• Very small lung nodules (<3 mm) can be missed
• Soft-brain structures require CT or MRI instead
