It is essential to minimise radiation exposure as far as possible. To this end, all radiation protection regulations are observed.

Areas of application

X-rays are versatile and are used in particular for the examination of bones, joints and the cardiopulmonary system.

Image quality

Digital images offer a high resolution and enable a reduction in radiation through digital processing.

Patient comfort

Digital X-rays can be performed at short notice without preparation. Only short waiting times and reduced examination times.

X-RAY DIAGNOSTICS PROCEDURE

If you are pregnant or suspect that you are pregnant, be sure to inform the medical staff, as X-ray examinations can only be carried out to a limited extent and with particular caution due to the use of ionising radiation. Your doctor can recommend alternative examination methods that do not expose the unborn child to radiation.

During the examination
The following points must be observed during the X-ray examination:

  • Instructions
We try to make the examination as pleasant as possible for you, but we need your co-operation to produce the best possible images. You will receive instructions and support from our staff for this purpose. Please follow these instructions as closely as possible to ensure the best possible quality of the images and to avoid repeat images.
  • Protective clothing:
You may be given lead aprons or lead protection to protect other areas of your body from exposure to X-rays. Wear this protective clothing according to the instructions.
