X-ray And X-ray Procedures
What is a digital X ray?
We use digital computeted radiography technique at Neptune Diagnostics, where a digital plate not film, transfers the image into an electric format. Digital x ray converts the X Rays that pass through the body more efficiently than film hence allowing less exposure for the same image quality. Digital X ray equipment provides superior image quality at lower radiation doses in comparison to older technologies.
- You do not need to make an appointment for a general x-ray.
- For Abdomen X ray, KUB X ray and Lumbar spine X rays, empty stomach / 4-6 hours fasting is preferred with bowel preparations. Kindly contact our phone numbers for any further queries.
- You should aler the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant.

- You may be asked to remove any metallic items, such as Jewellery, watched, eyewear and belts if they are covering the area of body to be X rayed.
