X-ray diagnostics in medicine has a key role in establishing basic diagnoses, monitoring treatment and monitoring the health status of patients. X-ray diagnostics provides fast and non-invasive diagnostics that are crucial for the initial understanding of the patient’s condition, thus enabling timely and adequate diagnosis.
