Conventional Radiology

Traditional Radiology

It is a radiologic technique using x-rays to obtain images of the skeleton. This permits the diagnosis of many bone pathologies, such as fracture, hernia, numeric and morphological anomalies of vertebrae and to obtain important indications on other conditions. These can subsequently be looked at more closely with more specific and sophisticated tests. More frequent exams are for example:

• Orthopantomography
• Thorax x-ray
• Abdomen x-ray
• Spine x-ray
• Skeletal x-ray
• Teleradiograph of the skull
• Bone densitometry
