X-rays are a form of radiation that can pass through solid and semi-solid substances. In carefully controlled doses, they can be used to capture images of the body’s internal structures. X-rays are carried out by radiographers who are healthcare professionals trained to use imaging technology.
During an X-ray you will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a flat surface so that the part of your body being examined is positioned between the X-ray machine and a photographic plate. The X-ray will last for a fraction of a second. As the X-rays hit the photographic plate, the plate captures a snapshot of the image.
There is very little risk with having an X-ray which is subject to strict regulations and the use of X-rays is assessed on the principle that the risk of having the X-ray outweighs the risk of not having the X-ray examination. X-ray examinations are therefore only performed when absolutely necessary. When X-rays are taken, some of the energy in the beam is absorbed in the body and this is called the radiation dose. The strength of radiation in relation to long-term risk is measured using units called millisieverts (mSv). Diagnostic X-ray examinations involve relatively low doses, these doses are often compared to natural background radiation. Once the X-ray is complete, Curian Medical arrange for a Consultant Radiologist to report on the X-ray and the results shared with our referrer within days.
