Digital X-Ray

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of x-rays in 1895 has been a great benefit to medicine, letting us see inside the human body for the first time. We use x-rays to image many parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, airway, blood vessels and bones. An x-ray (radiograph) is a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiography involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Now with over one hundred years of advancements, we are proud to offer the most modern digital x-ray technology at all eight of our offices. In the past, diagnostic radiographic images were recorded to film. With our new cutting edge Swissray Digital X-ray Systems, images are recorded to special high resolution detectors and are processed by computers to be viewed by radiologists. We always strive to provide accurate and reliable reports in a very efficient manner. Every report and study we perform is in a digital format and is available for each referring physician to view via secure internet access on our web portal or on a CD.

Pediatrics

Children are among the most important beneficiaries of our new digital x-ray system. With the ability to perform the examination in seconds and with the lowest patient radiation dose, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology has minimized much of the fear and anxiety associated with pediatric imaging.
