Digital X-Ray and Fluoroscopy
With diagnostic X-Ray being the very first and most commonly used form of technique introduced in the field of radiology, there is no harm caused by X-Ray radiations in small amounts. X-Rays allow physicians to perform a painless and quick evaluation, thus, allowing them to detect diseases in the early stages, while improving the recovery time. The most common use of X-Rays is to detect fractures and other abnormalities of bone, joint disease and lung disease.
Using the most modern technology, we readily cater to the needs of those patients who have been ordered by their physician to get themselves examined through general diagnostic exams, which will further help them to identify and diagnose conditions in the chest, bone, sinuses, skull or spine etc.
At ALNOOR, our first priority is to ensure that all of the safety precautions are disclosed with the patients beforehand. In case the patient is pregnant or is in doubt, we make it our duty to ask them before the test is performed, thus reducing the chances of ill-results.

What is the OPG price in Pakistan?
The expense of an OPG (orthopantomogram) may vary by location and facility, providing extensive dental X-rays at a competitive price.
What can a digital X-ray identify?
Digital X-rays can identify fractures, infections, tumors, arthritis, and numerous bone or tissue anomalies with improved clarity and accuracy.
What differentiates an X-ray from a digital X-ray?
The primary distinction is that conventional X-rays utilize film, whereas digital X-rays acquire images electronically, yielding expedited results, superior image quality, and less radiation exposure.
What are the drawbacks of digital X-rays?
The drawbacks of digital X-rays encompass elevated initial equipment expenses and the requirement for specialized software and trained personnel for operation.
Are digital X-rays more economical?
While the initial investment for digital X-rays may be higher, they may ultimately prove to be more cost-effective over time due to their reduced processing and storage costs.
