If you’re having an X-ray done on your child, keep them still during the procedure to avoid blurred or unclear images. Because infants may require moderate restraint, they must always be accompanied by their parents.
Can an X-ray of the Pelvis identify all damage to the region?
An X-Ray Pelvis can be used to identify fractures in the bones and joints caused by accidents or falls. The scan, however, is not capable of detecting all injuries. Hairline fractures, bone bruises, torn ligaments are examples of injuries that can go undetected. It’s also useless for the bones of the spine. In such cases, doctors may advise patients to have further imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan.
Why can't one perform an X-Ray of the pelvis at home?
Because it requires specialised scanning technologies to observe the organs from the inside, an X-Ray pelvis cannot be conducted at home. Therefore, this equipment is only found in specialized hospitals and diagnostic centres.
Will I be able to receive my X-Ray pelvic reports immediately following the testing?
The radiologist prepares the results when the X-ray Pelvis test is finished. If it’s an emergency, you might be able to obtain the findings right away. Radiologists usually provide results of a non-emergency review within 1-2 days of receiving the image.
