X-ray

X-ray examinations are now an indispensable part of modern medical diagnostics, enabling quick and accurate diagnosis of various diseases and injuries. At Újbuda Medical Center, we pay special attention to conducting X-ray examinations at the highest professional level, keeping the comfort and safety of our patients in mind.

X-ray Examination

X-ray imaging holds a prominent place among medical imaging procedures, allowing us to look inside the body without any intervention. At Újbuda Medical Center, we use the latest developments in X-ray technology to provide our patients with the most accurate diagnosis possible.

X-ray examination is of significant importance in modern medicine as it is one of the fastest and most reliable methods to assess the condition of bones and, in some cases, internal organs such as the lungs and abdominal cavity. The technology enables us to get an immediate image of the examined body part, thus providing a quick diagnosis and, if necessary, immediate treatment.

During X-ray imaging, a specific part of the patient's body is exposed to X-ray radiation for a short time. This radiation penetrates the body's various tissues to different extents, appearing in different shades on the X-ray image. For example, bones, which contain a large amount of calcium, appear white, while soft tissues like muscles and fat appear in various shades of gray.

X-ray images are crucial tools for diagnosing fractures and cracks but are also indispensable in identifying conditions such as pneumonia or certain types of tumors. Additionally, they are used in dentistry to examine the condition of teeth and jaws and in orthopedics to monitor bone placement and post-surgical healing.

To ensure the safety of X-ray examinations at Újbuda Medical Center, we employ the most modern radiation protection techniques to minimize exposure while providing the best image quality. All examinations are performed by trained radiological technicians who ensure that only the necessary area is exposed to radiation, and the lowest possible dose is used every time.

At Újbuda Medical Center, we pay special attention to the comfort and tranquility of our patients during X-ray examinations. We understand that many may feel anxious during the procedure, so we do everything possible to make the process as stress-free as possible.

X-ray Examination Procedure

At Újbuda Medical Center, the X-ray examination process is smooth and patient-friendly. We meticulously monitor every step to provide our patients with the most comfortable and safe experience possible. From preparation to the taking of the images, every process is strictly conducted according to the highest professional and safety standards.

Arrival for the Examination

When our patients arrive for an X-ray, they first go through a brief registration process where all necessary data are recorded. Our expert staff then provide detailed information about the procedure, answer any questions, and explain how patients can best prepare.

Examination Preparation

Before the X-ray, it is important for patients to remove any metal objects that might affect the quality of the images, such as jewelry, belts, or glasses. In some cases, they may also need to dress in special clothing, such as a lead apron, to reduce radiation exposure. Our staff provide all necessary instructions at this stage to ensure patients know exactly what to do.

The Examination Process

During the X-ray, our patients are required to assume a specific position, which could be lying on a specially designed, comfortable table or standing next to a stand, depending on which body part is being imaged. This position is crucial for the success of the examination as it allows the X-ray radiation to be directed precisely at the desired area.

The radiological technician leading the examination explains each step thoroughly to the patient to ensure they fully understand the process and are comfortable during the examination. Once the patient is in the correct position, the technician carefully adjusts the X-ray machine to ensure the optimal angle and distance for creating the most accurate images. At this stage, special attention is paid to ensuring that the radiation only reaches the necessary part of the body, minimizing the patient's radiation exposure.

Just before the examination, the technician informs the patient that they must remain completely still during the image capture. This is important because even the smallest movement can blur the image, affecting the accuracy of the diagnosis. The X-ray image capture usually lasts only a few seconds, and the patient will hardly feel anything during the radiation exposure.

The technician communicates continuously with the patient during the examination, ensuring that everyone is clear on the next steps and expectations. If more images are needed from different angles or body parts, the technician provides instructions for changing positions so that the examination can proceed as smoothly as possible.

After the necessary images have been taken, the technician informs the patient that the examination is complete and assists them in comfortably and safely leaving the examination area. The X-ray images are then digitally transmitted to the radiologist, who evaluates them in detail and prepares the diagnostic report.
