X-rays are performed in the radiology department, in the surgery department or in patient rooms. They are used to help physicians view the inside of the body and examine the chest, spine, bones, digestive tract, uterus and bladder to confidently diagnose conditions. We use both radiography and fluoroscopy at Big Bend Regional Medical Center but keep radiation amounts to a minimum. With the added benefits of fluoroscopy, we’re able to study flow or motion inside a patient’s body, taking a closer look at dynamic processes such as throat abnormalities.
