What is radiology?

Radiology consists of takingimages which facilitate the observation of the internal structures of the body to study possible injuries.

These images help the doctor supplement the study of the patient.

Conventional radiology is useful to diagnose bone fractures, infections, arthritis or cancer, among other diseases and conditions.

How is a radiological examination done?

The first step in performing a radiological examination is the positioning of the patient. The technician will tell you whether to lie on the stretcher, sit or stand and ask you to stay still while take the pictures.

Once you are in place and still, the technician will focus the X-ray machine on the area of the body to be examined and study it.

All conventional radiology exams are read and interpreted by doctors. Once the study has been completed, the reported results will be available, if necessary.

What is ultrasound?

A medical ultrasound machine emits these ultrasounds, collects them and interprets them using a computer. Ultrasound is used to see vital organs, blood flow, pregnancy...

Frequently asked questions

How should I prepare for an X-ray exam?

The preparation varies according to the area to be examined. In any case, however, you will need to discover the area of the body that needs to be x-rayed. A robe will be provided if needed.

You will also be asked to remove any metal items, such as jewelry, glasses, and clothing with metal fasteners or clasps, as these items can interfere with the X-ray by obscuring the image.

Is an X-ray safe?

Conventional radiographs are performed using low ionizing radiation. The X-ray beam is carefully aimed and limited to the part of the body to be examined. There is no residual radiation left in the body after the exam.

How should I prepare for an ultrasound exam?

Almost no special preparation is required. Depending on the area you need to explore:

• Hepatobiliary, abdominal and pancreatic: fasting 6 h. You can drink water.
• Thyroid, mammary and testicular: no prior preparation required.
• Gynecological, urological and prostatic: 2 hours before without urinating and drinking half a liter of water 30 minutes before the test.
• Renal: 30 minutes before the test, drink a milliliter of still water and eat lightly.
