X-Ray

Low doses of x-rays are used to diagnose diseases by making pictures of the inside of the body.

In standard X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a regular X-ray, a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures is not available.

Goodall offers X-Ray services in Sanford, Waterboro and Kennebunk.  For more informaton, contact the Diagnostic Imaging Department.
