Digital X-ray

Digital X-rays at FCDC

• At FCDC, X-rays are done using modern digital machines that give clear pictures and use 80% less radiation, making it safer for patients.
• X-rays help doctors see inside your body, like your bones, chest, or abdomen, without needing surgery.

️ How X-rays Work

• A small amount of special energy (called radiation) passes through your body.
• Some parts (like bones) block it, and some (like muscles or fat) let it pass through.
• A picture is made based on what the energy can or cannot pass through — kind of like taking a photo!

✅ Why FCDC is a Good Choice

• Very clear images (HD quality)
• Safe with low radiation
• Approved by the government (PNRA)

Things to Remember Before Your X-ray

• Don’t wear jewelry — it can block the image.
• Usually, no special preparation is needed.
• For belly or pelvic X-rays, come with an empty stomach if possible.
• If you had a test with dye or Barium recently, tell the lab — they may ask you to wait a few days before taking the X-ray.
