Types of X-Ray Available at Our Indore Centre
Our digital X-ray centre in Indore covers the full range of radiographic imaging that doctors commonly prescribe. All X-rays are captured using digital sensors, ensuring high-resolution images that help your doctor make accurate clinical decisions.
When Do You Need an X-Ray?
X-ray is the most commonly prescribed diagnostic imaging test in India. It is quick, affordable and highly effective at revealing conditions that physical examination alone cannot detect. Here are the most common reasons doctors in Indore prescribe an X-ray test.
Bone fractures and injuries: X-ray is the first-line imaging for any suspected fracture, dislocation or bone injury. It clearly shows bone alignment, cracks and displacement within seconds.
Chest and lung conditions: A chest X-ray in Indore is routinely ordered to evaluate pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung infections, pleural effusion, heart enlargement and pre-surgical fitness assessment.
Joint pain and arthritis: X-ray reveals joint space narrowing, bone spurs, cartilage loss and other signs of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout in knees, hips, hands and spine.
Back pain and spine problems: Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine X-ray helps diagnose disc degeneration, spondylosis, scoliosis, compression fractures and vertebral alignment issues.
Abdominal complaints: Abdomen X-ray detects intestinal obstruction, kidney stones (on KUB X-ray), free air indicating perforation and foreign body ingestion.
Dental evaluation: OPG (orthopantomogram) provides a full panoramic view of all teeth, jawbone and surrounding structures — essential before dental surgery, implants or orthodontic treatment.
Pre-employment and visa medicals: Chest X-ray is mandatory for many employment screenings, visa applications and insurance medicals. Our digital format is accepted by all authorities.

Why Choose Nagar's for X-Ray in Indore
True Digital Radiography
We use modern digital radiography (DR) sensors — not CR cassettes that many clinics market as "digital." DR systems produce sharper images at lower radiation doses with instant display.
Radiologist-Reported
Every X-ray is read and reported by Dr. Shweta Nagar, DNB-qualified radiologist. Many X-ray centres provide images without expert radiologist interpretation — we always include a detailed written report.
Reports in Minutes
Digital X-ray images appear on screen instantly. Combined with on-site radiologist reporting, most patients receive their complete X-ray report within 15–30 minutes of the scan.
Lower Radiation, Better Safety
Our digital system requires 40–60% less radiation than conventional film X-ray. Particularly important for children, elderly patients and anyone needing multiple or repeat X-rays.
Walk-ins Accepted
No appointment needed for X-ray. Walk in during clinic hours (Mon–Sat, 9 AM – 8 PM) with your doctor's prescription and get your X-ray done immediately with minimal wait time.
Digital Sharing
X-ray images can be shared digitally via WhatsApp, email or CD — no need to carry bulky films. Your referring doctor receives clear images they can zoom into on any device.
How to Prepare for an X-Ray
X-ray requires minimal preparation compared to other imaging tests. Here is what to keep in mind before your X-ray test in Indore.
Remove metal objects: Remove jewellery, watches, belts, coins and any metal accessories from the area being X-rayed. Metal creates white spots on the image that can obscure the findings.
Wear comfortable clothing: Loose, metal-free clothing is ideal. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown for chest or abdomen X-rays. Avoid clothing with zippers, buttons or underwire in the scan area.
Inform about pregnancy: Tell the technician if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy. X-ray during pregnancy is avoided unless absolutely medically necessary, and additional shielding can be used.
Bring your prescription: Carry the doctor's referral slip that mentions which body part needs X-ray and the clinical reason. This helps the radiologist provide a focused, accurate report.
Previous X-rays: If you have previous X-ray films or reports of the same body part, bring them along. Comparison with old images helps the radiologist detect changes or progression over time.
Common X-Rays Explained
Chest X-Ray
The chest X-ray in Indore is the most frequently ordered radiographic study. It provides a single image that evaluates the lungs, heart silhouette, mediastinum, ribs, diaphragm and thoracic spine simultaneously. Doctors prescribe chest X-ray for cough, breathlessness, fever, chest pain, pre-surgical clearance and routine health checkups. At Nagar's Clinic, a PA (posteroanterior) chest X-ray is captured in a standing position with both standard and enhanced digital views for thorough evaluation.
Spine X-Ray
Cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine X-ray is essential for diagnosing back pain, neck pain, spondylosis, disc space narrowing, scoliosis and post-injury assessment. We capture AP and lateral views as standard, with additional flexion-extension views when ordered by your orthopaedic surgeon or physiotherapist.
Joint and Bone X-Ray
Knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, ankle and other joint X-rays help diagnose fractures, arthritis, joint effusion, bone tumours and alignment problems. Standing weight-bearing views for knee arthritis and stress views for ligament injuries are available at our clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions — X-Ray in Indore
X-ray cost in Indore ranges from Rs 200 to Rs 600 for standard digital X-rays. Chest X-ray costs Rs 250–400, limb or joint X-ray Rs 300–500, spine X-ray Rs 400–600, and special contrast X-rays like barium swallow Rs 1,500–2,500. Digital X-rays offer better quality at marginally higher cost than film-based X-rays.
Digital X-ray uses electronic sensors instead of photographic film. Key advantages include 40–60% lower radiation dose, instant image availability without film processing, ability to zoom and enhance images on computer, easy digital sharing with doctors, and no chemical waste. Image quality is significantly sharper than conventional film X-rays.
A single diagnostic X-ray uses a very small amount of radiation and is considered safe. A chest X-ray delivers roughly 0.02 mSv — equivalent to about 10 days of natural background radiation. Modern digital systems use even lower doses. X-rays are generally avoided during pregnancy unless medically necessary.
A doctor's prescription is recommended because it specifies which body part needs imaging and the clinical indication. This ensures the X-ray is medically justified and helps the radiologist write a focused report. At Nagar's Clinic, walk-ins are accepted for common X-rays but a referral is preferred.
The actual X-ray exposure takes only seconds. Including positioning, the entire procedure is 5–15 minutes. With digital technology, images appear on screen instantly and reports are prepared within 15–30 minutes at our clinic.
Nagar's Ultrasound Clinic & Imaging Centre in Old Palasia offers digital X-ray with instant reporting by a DNB-qualified radiologist. With a 4.4 Google rating, 210+ reviews and 20+ years of practice, the clinic provides accurate imaging at affordable rates.
