Yes, X-rays are considered safe when performed by trained professionals using modern equipment. The amount of radiation used is very low and well within safe medical guidelines. At Greenland Clinic, we follow strict safety protocols and use digital X-ray machines that minimize exposure. However, if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, it is very important to inform our staff before your scan. In such cases, we may suggest alternative imaging options unless the X-ray is absolutely necessary.

An X-ray is a diagnostic imaging test that uses electromagnetic radiation to create pictures of the inside of your body. It is commonly used to view bones, lungs, joints, and internal organs. The X-ray machine sends a beam through your body, which is absorbed differently by various tissues — dense structures like bones appear white, while softer tissues show up in shades of gray or black. Doctors use X-rays to detect fractures, infections, arthritis, lung conditions (like pneumonia or tuberculosis), tumors, and abnormalities in the digestive or urinary tract. It is a quick, painless, and non-invasive test.

Most X-rays require no special preparation. You may be asked to remove any metal objects or jewelry near the area being scanned. For certain X-rays like abdominal or urinary tract scans, you might be advised to fast for a few hours or drink water beforehand. Our team will provide clear instructions when you schedule your appointment. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing, and bring any previous medical records or prescriptions, if available.
