General radiographic examination

General radiography can be taken on the skull, chest, flat abdomen, bones and joints of the limbs. The film plays an important role in the diagnosis work. Compared with the perspective, the film has the following advantages: 1. The image of the tested part is permanently retained on the film for analysis, discussion and review. 2. Can be saved as scientific research materials. 3. The film can show the fine structure, such as the early source of more than 2mm is more clear than the perspective. 4. The film can check the thick part of the human body and make the patient receive less X-rays.
