X-Ray with Computed Radiography
Radiography involves the use of x-rays to identify healthy or abnormal conditions within the body. This is one of the most direct methods for detecting causes of certain health problems and checking on the progress of diseases.
Examination Procedure
During your examination, you will be in an upright or horizontal position, depending upon the x-ray procedure to be performed. You will be instructed to hold your breath while the x-rays are being taken (any movement will blur the image). Some examinations require the taking of several films. If this is the case, the technologist may reposition you for additional views. Exams usually take 30 to 60 minutes, however the time may vary significantly depending on the nature of the study and other factors.
Wudassie Diagnostic Center is the first and only x-ray service provides in Ethiopia that gives quality digital films.

Testimonial
“First of all, thank you for giving us this opportunity. Second, we would like to appreciate the service you are rendering. We’ve come from a rural area (Arsi town), and are children of peasants. We’ve had ultrasound diagnostic services at Black Lion Hospital; however, the results were not clear and hence not useful to take the necessary measures. The doctors referred us to you and you gave us the necessary diagnostic procedures for free. Mere thanks doesn’t express our gratitude. May the Lord bless you! You should be proud of your self."
