Patients are often unsure whether they should opt for a digital X-ray at a diagnostic centre or a portable X-ray at home. While both serve the same diagnostic purpose, the choice depends on medical guidance and individual circumstances.

A digital X-ray performed at a centre uses fixed equipment in a controlled environment. This setup is suitable when patients can travel comfortably and when multiple views or detailed imaging are required. Diagnostic centres are designed to handle a wide range of imaging needs efficiently.

Portable X-rays, on the other hand, use compact digital machines that can be taken to a patient’s home. These are commonly recommended when mobility is limited or when travel is discouraged. The imaging principles remain the same, but the setting is different.

Safety is a common concern. Both digital and portable X-rays follow established radiation safety guidelines when conducted by trained professionals. Doctors decide which option is appropriate based on clinical requirements rather than convenience alone.

In Bandra, having access to both centre-based and doorstep imaging allows patients to follow medical advice without unnecessary difficulty. Understanding the differences between these options helps patients make informed decisions and participate more confidently in their diagnostic care.
