What are X-rays?
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be used to create images of the human body. Our radiographers perform X-ray studies using specialised machines and computers to provide imaging for a wide variety of conditions.
X-rays are useful for screening of medical conditions as well as diagnosing emergent and chronic diseases. X-ray studies are interpreted by radiologists who will document their findings and diagnosis in a report for referring doctors and patients.
CGH provides X-ray reporting services during office hours for general practice doctors and specialist outpatient clinics. For emergency and inpatient cases, the X-ray service is available 24/7.
Are X-rays safe?
When doing an X-ray, there will be a low dose of radiation, equivalent to that of a few days of radiation exposure from naturally occurring sources such as the sun.
Examples of X-rays studies:
- Chest X-rays are useful to diagnose lung infections
- Limb X-rays can be used to diagnose fractures
- Spine X-rays are useful for checking for spinal alignment and fractures
- Abdominal X-rays can be used to diagnose kidney stones
Outpatient general X-ray services are provided at our main department (Level B1) and various specialist outpatient clinics below:
- Changi Care Clinic
- Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic
- Clinical Measurement Unit (CMU) Clinic
