Photographic Plate:
A photographic plate or film is used in hospitals to produce images of the internal organs and bones of a patient. They are also used in industrial radiography processes. Since photographic plates are sensitive to X-rays, they provide a convenient and easy means of recording the image. X-ray film is usually provided as pre-loaded paper cartridges with the film inside a light proof paper envelope.

Applications for X-Ray Imaging and Fluoroscopy

  • Bone X-ray Imaging: are the most common use of X-ray imaging and assist the physician in identifying and treating bone fractures including the arms, legs, knees, wrists, and skull. Images of the injury can show very fine hairline fractures or bone chips, while images produced after treatment ensure that a fracture has been properly aligned and stabilized for healing. 
  • Chest X-ray Imaging: A chest x-ray is usually done for the evaluation of lungs, heart and chest wall. Pneumonia, heart failure, emphysema, lung cancer and other medical conditions can be accurately diagnosed or suspected through a chest x-ray.
  • X-ray Guided Breast Biopsy: A mammography may reveal a breast abnormality, but in many cases it is not possible to tell whether a growth is benign or cancerous. To make this determination it is necessary to obtain a tissue sample for examination. As an alternative to open surgical biopsy, which removes an entire breast lump for microscopic analysis, a hollow needle may be passed through the skin into the suspicious lesion with the help of special breast X-rays. The small sample of breast tissue obtained in this way can show whether the lesion is malignant or benign. This much less invasive than the surgical approach and is particularly for pinpointing suspicious masses that cannot be felt on breast examination.

Benefits of X-ray imaging

  • Very ueseful for diagnosing common bone injury and disease (such as fractures, bone infections, and arthritis) as well as common conditions of the lung and chest such as infection, emphysema, and fluid accumulation.
  • Fast and easy to perform; particularly useful in emergency diagnosis and treatment
  • Inexpensive and widely available

Limitations of X-Ray Imaging
While X-ray images are among the clearest, most detailed views of bone fractures, they provide little information about the adjacent soft tissues. In the case of a knee, shoulder or spine injury, for example, an MRI may be more useful in identifying ligament and cartilage damage or other non-fractures.

The chest X-ray is a very useful examination, but has limitations. Some conditions of the chest will not show up on the image. There are some cancers that are too small or are difficult to visualize and may not be identified. Blood clots to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) cannot be seen on chest X-rays and require additional study.
