X-Ray clarity in viewing the standing skeleton has gone to the next level.
Request an AppointmentWhile the benefits prove plentiful, many people wonder if X-rays are safe. The level of exposure from digital X-rays is so minuscule, sources including Mayo Clinic maintain that the rewards far outweigh any risk.
Plus, digital X-rays emit 70-90% less radiation than the traditional film variety. However, if you are pregnant, your doctor may still suggest an alternative diagnostic method.
Traditional film X-rays also leaves behind environmentally hazardous wastes such as lead foil, films, and chemical developers that require proper and careful disposal. For this reason, many radiologists have chosen “greener” digital imaging in lieu of the traditional variety.
The Radiologists at Three Notch Chiropractic utilize state-of-the-art equipment such as the Cesium digital flat panel detector, which produces crystal-clear images that are far superior to the film images captured in past years. Images are almost instantly available with minimal exposure to patient.
To see the structure is to know. To not see is to guess. We don’t do guesswork! (there’s no reason to!)
