During the late 1800's the revolutionary discovery of x-ray gave birth to the field of medical imaging. For the first time, we had the ability to see inside the human body without a surgical intervention. Today, the science of x-ray forms the foundation for many of our other imaging technologies like CT and mammography.
Al Razi Healthcare Imaging provides a full spectrum of general Digital Radiography services from the routine to those needing urgent attention. We employ only licensed x-ray personnel and all of Al Razi’s general radiography equipment is routinely inspected by a physicist to ensure that highest government safety standards are met or exceeded.

General radiography, or x-ray, uses a controlled beam of energy that is passed through the body. Because the bones, organs and tissues within our bodies are composed of differing densities, the x-ray beams move through them differently. Bones for instance will absorb more of the beam than an organ or soft tissue making them appear white or gray on x-ray image while the tissue appears darker.
After passing through the body, the x-ray beams are captured on a computerized receptor. The most subtle internal differences can be seen with remarkable detail in varying degrees of black and white.
At Al Razi healthcare, general radiography is used as a fast and simple way to document everything from broken bones to injured backs. It allows us to pinpoint pneumonia and to help your sports medicine physician evaluate the health of your aching joints.
