Radiography RX
Radiography, or X-ray, is a diagnostic examination that uses X-rays to obtain detailed images of the internal structures of the human body, such as bones and lungs.

- Bone fracture check: to check for the presence and evolution of fractures.

- Lung X-ray: to identify conditions such as pneumonia or tumors.
- Hip X-ray examination: to evaluate arthrosis or fractures of the hip.

These examinations are critical for accurate diagnosis and for planning the most appropriate treatment.
