My purpose in creating this blog is to help those who find themselves in a Radiology Department in an emergency and/or trauma situation feel informed and less fearful of what may happen. Before the fall of 2000, the Radiology Department was just another hallway in the hospital to me. I had never had an x-ray and so really had no knowledge of what took place there. I just figured it was somewhere people went after breaking bones so the doctors could know how to fix it.

X-ray Benefits

X-ray imaging is useful to diagnose bone injury and disease, such as fractures, bone infections, arthritis, and cancer. Because x-ray imaging is so fast and easy, it is particularly useful in emergency diagnosis and treatment. X-ray equipment is relatively inexpensive and widely available in physician offices, ambulatory care centers, nursing homes, and other locations. So examinations are usually convenient for both patients and physicians.
