X-RAY

STAR X PATHOLOGY & DIAGNOSTIC CENTER offers high-end Radiology and Imaging services in majority of its satellite laboratories and diagnostic centers using the latest X-Ray and backed by highly trained and experienced Radiologists and Ultrasonologists. A perfect balance of technology and human skill enables STAR X PATHOLOGY to offer a wide range of services in this domain. 

X-ray, a type of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, is often used for cancer diagnosis, staging and treatment. An X-ray uses electromagnetic radiation to make images. The image is recorded on a film, called a radiograph. The images produced appear light or dark, depending on the absorption rates of the different tissues. For example, dense materials, such as bone, show up as white on a film, while fat and muscle appear as varying shades of gray.
An X-ray exam is fast and painless. In low doses, X-rays can be used to construct images of structures inside the body to detect and stage a tumor. In higher doses
X-rays can be used in radiation therapy to help destroy cancerous cells in the body.

The advantages of capturing and storing X-Ray Images digitally rather than on film are overwhelming. Digital X-ray imaging has many advantages:

The images can be stored in a very compact manner without risk of loss or deterioration in quality.
The images can be easily enlarged and "suspicious" areas of an image can be more easily studied. The images can be easily retrieved, and can be transmitted electronically to an expert or to another medical practitioner in the same hospital or to an insurance company for reimbursement purposes.
