X-Rays?

Did you know that 1895 was the birthday of both chiropractic and X-Rays? Chiropractic and X-Ray imaging have both evolved greatly over these past 100 plus years.

Today chiropractors utilise X-Ray when necessary and have been leaders in both patient safety and in minimising X-Ray exposure:

 Lead shielding to protect sensitive areas

 Narrowing the X-Ray beam with collimation

 Reduced energy usage with intensification screens

 Unneeded frequencies removed with filters

 Short exposure times with sensitive films

 Necessary views only

 Longer target-film distance reduces exposure to about one quarter of other techniques
