X-Ray and Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic Radiology and Imaging services provide critical imaging data to empower clinical diagnosis and procedural planning. The determination of imaging modality (conventional radiography vs. ultrasound) is guided by clinical presentation, anatomical findings, patient age, and pregnancy status.

When Should You Consult?
You can consult our department if you experience any of the following symptoms or needs:
Examination & Planning Process
Radiography employs ionizing radiation; patients who are pregnant or suspect pregnancy must notify the technologist beforehand. Diagnostic ultrasonography uses sound waves (zero radiation) but may require pre-scan fasting or a full urinary bladder depending on target anatomy.
X-Ray and Diagnostic Imaging
When scheduling imaging, sharing the exact name of the requested scan facilitates clear preparation instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Upper abdominal scans (gallbladder, liver, pancreas) usually require 6 to 8 hours of fasting. Lower pelvic ultrasound often necessitates a comfortably distended urinary bladder (drinking water).
Yes, absolutely. Conventional X-rays utilize ionizing radiation; any confirmed or suspected pregnancy must be declared to our radiologic technologist prior to exposure to utilize protective shielding or alternatives.
CBCT provides high-resolution 3D volumetric images that reveal bone width, height, and adjacent vital structures like mandibular nerve canals and maxillary sinuses. It is indicated based on individual clinical need.
Bringing your official identification, a current list of regular medications, and any past laboratory tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, MRI/CT scans, eye records, or dental imaging greatly facilitates the evaluation.
