Essential Cancer Diagnostics X-ray Imaging at Apollo Athenaa

X-ray

X-rays are one of the most used and reliable imaging techniques in medicine. They help doctors visualize the internal structures of the body — such as bones, joints, and certain soft tissues — in a fast and non-invasive way. In the context of cancer care, X-rays are used to assist in diagnosis, pre-surgical evaluation, treatment planning, and sometimes to monitor recovery or detect complications.

At Apollo Athenaa, X-rays are performed using advanced digital systems that ensure precise imaging with minimal radiation exposure. The process is quick, painless, and often the first imaging step in a broader diagnostic journey.

A digital X-ray machine emits a small dose of radiation that passes through the body and creates an image on a detector or screen.
