What is Direct Radiography (X-Ray)?

Direct radiography (X-ray) is one of the most fundamental medical imaging methods, using X-rays to visualize bones, joints, and internal organs. Due to its speed and ease of application, it is widely used in the initial evaluation and diagnosis of many conditions. At our center, we perform various X-ray examinations to provide detailed assessments of bones, joints, lungs, and abdominal structures.
