Digital X-rays: Advanced Technology for Your Benefit

Since they were first used for medical diagnoses, the value of X-rays in pinpointing problems inside the human body has been proven again and again. They help doctors find and visualize fractures, tumors, and other problems so they can be treated. Even though the technology does come with a slight risk from exposure to the rays used to image the body, the value of diagnosing a problem before it worsens far outweighs the potential side effects. Now with advancements in technology, doctors are able to use digital pictures to accurately depict the body at an even lower risk.
Diagnosing Your Foot Pain with Digital X-Rays

Easy, Detailed Images

In the past, X-rays were shot directly onto large pieces of film that then took time to develop and be evaluated by the physicians. With digital technology, however, the image is instantaneous. Your foot or ankle is placed in front of sensors that read and capture the x-rays as they pass through you. The data is transferred to a computer where technicians can adjust the image for better quality, magnify the area that needs to be studied, or even decide if the image needs to be retaken.

For those who are concerned about the risks of radiation exposure, these digital pictures are actually better than traditional X-rays. The sensors that capture and transfer the data are more sensitive than regular film, and so do not require as much radiation for a clear photo. Even then, trained medical assistants are able to adjust the image on the computer to get greater clarity. The pictures that are taken are extremely detailed, so Drs. Joel Brook, Arroyo, and McClurkin are able to see more about your injury or other condition to diagnose it accurately. Also, because it happens so quickly, you have less time to wait to find out the results. Your injury or condition is able to be examined, diagnosed, and set on the path to treatment right away.

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
