X-Ray Test in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune

What is an X-Ray?

An X-Ray is a simple and painless test that takes pictures of the inside of your body using a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors see bones, joints, and some soft tissues like lungs and intestines.

X-Rays have been used for decades and remain one of the quickest ways for doctors to find out what’s happening inside without surgery.

Why is an X-Ray Done?

Doctors recommend an X-Ray for many reasons, such as:

• Bone problems – to detect fractures, dislocations, or bone infections.
• Joint issues – to check for arthritis or other conditions.
• Chest problems – to look for pneumonia, tuberculosis, or lung infections.
• Dental care – to check teeth and jaw health.
• Digestive system – to find swallowed objects or blockages.

In emergencies, an X-Ray is often the first test to help doctors make quick decisions.

How is the X-Ray Test Done?

1. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
2. A technician positions you in front of the X-Ray machine.
3. Depending on the body part, you may need to stand, sit, or lie down.
4. You will be asked to stay still for a few seconds while the image is taken.
5. The process is very quick—usually completed in 10–15 minutes.

You won’t feel anything during the test. The machine simply captures an image, much like taking a photograph.
