Description
Doctors routinely recommend an X-ray scan to discover infections, bone cancer, breast cancer, lung problems, and clogged blood arteries, among other things.
Because the X-ray scan employs radiation, there's a frequent myth that it might cause cancer through creating cell mutations.
While the body absorbs radiation, the levels of radiation in digital X-rays are exceedingly low, making it a safe imaging diagnostic technique.
Digital X-rays can help in diagnosing bone mass loss which leads to osteoporosis. Most commonly, the femoral neck, lumbar vertebrae, and calcaneus are checked for this condition.
