X - Ray Pelvis (Standing) AP View near me in Pondicherry

An X-ray of the pelvis is a safe and painless test to visualise the hip bones, upper part of thigh bone (proximal femur), hip joint and the soft tissues (skin and muscles) surrounding it using small amount of radiation. The image is recorded on a special X-ray film. The X-ray image is black and white. Dense structures such as the bones, appear white and soft body tissues, such as the skin and muscles appear darker. The actual exposure time to radiation is usually less than a second, although the overall test may take 15-20 minutes.
