X-rays or X-radiation is a common medical imaging technique that is prescribed by doctors to capture images of internal structures of the body like tissues, bones, and organs. Patients might require X-rays for various reasons - precautionary care, fractures and ligament tears, lung or heart related issues. Geriatric care in particular might require X-rays to -
• Monitor a pre-diagnosed condition
• Effectiveness of a treatment plan
• Examine the area where a senior is experience pain or discomfort
Whether it is a dislocation or fracture from a fall, osteoporosis, or cardiovascular conditions, seniors may require X-rays for various reasons. As one grows older, age related comorbidities like heart diseases, hypertension, and respiratory conditions or slips and falls increase the need for X-rays among the elderly.
Visiting a hospital or diagnostic center for an X-ray becomes a tedious task for seniors as they need to travel for the appointment, and it sometimes involves multiple visits too. Especially when the elderly is suffering from pain and tiredness due to fractures or infections, traveling to a hospital, waiting for the slot, and getting the imaging done can be extremely exhausting. This could be followed by another visit to collect the reports and meet with the doctor to decide the next course of action.
