About X-Ray Scans

  • X-ray imaging uses a small dose of radiation to produce images of dense structures within the body, most commonly bones and joints.
  • It is a quick and effective way to identify fractures, dislocations, joint damage and certain other abnormalities, and it is frequently the first imaging step following a physical injury.
  • In medico-legal claims, X-ray imaging provides objective evidence of bony injury that supports an expertu2019s assessment of causation and severity.
  • A range of studies is available, including general X-rays, spinal X-rays, shoulder and hip imaging, orbital X-rays and dental imaging, both reported and unreported as required.
  • X-ray remains the first-line investigation for suspected fractures because it is fast, widely available and highly effective at revealing bony injury.
