X-ray examinations can examine organs and bones within the body and identify any abnormalities. An X-ray examination may be requested by your GP or specialist.
It is not possible to carry out an examination of your abdomen if you have had an X-ray examination of the stomach or intestines with a contrast medium administered a few days previously.
X-ray examinations involve imaging a part of the body with the aid of X-rays. Different organs, tissues and bones do not let the same amount of radiation through. Therefore, it is possible to show the different structures in the body in an X-ray. An X-ray reveals any abnormalities. A radiologist is able to assess an X-ray photo.

X-rays penetrate the human body to varying degrees without becoming radioactive themselves. Since the amount of radiation must be limited for everyone, the staff of the radiology department ensures that the amount of radiation is as low as possible during each examination. There are therefore almost no risks involved in the examination.
It is undesirable for this examination to be carried out during pregnancy. The radiation can be harmful to the unborn child. If you are pregnant, or there is a possibility that you might be, consult your doctor.
To make an appointment, please contact us at 075 650 29 75. We are available from 08.00 - 16.30.
