These tests are routinely and safely performed by radiologists who are specially trained to do so.\u00a0All X-ray tests at St. Margaret&#8217;s are completed with a digital radiology system.\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">Digital radiography, or digital X-ray, is a type of X-ray imaging that utilizes X-ray sensors as opposed to photographic film. The benefits of digital X-rays\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">include, greater efficiency, the ability to digitally enhance and transfer images and use of lower\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">amounts of radiation.\u00a0<\/span>X-Ray imaging is most often used to diagnose fractures.
