I'm very satisfied with this medical clinic. I had my first pregnancy screening here. It was affordable and very professional. The radiologist was welcoming, kind, and made the experience great.

Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Osama's team was gentle and amazing. After a bad experience elsewhere, my pelvic exam here was much more professional. Great report and very precise.

A hip X-ray provides detailed visualization of the hip joint, including the femoral head, acetabulum, femoral neck, and surrounding pelvic structures. It is the essential first-line imaging study for hip pain, groin pain, and suspected fractures, offering rapid assessment of bone integrity, joint space, and alignment. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our digital hip X-ray system delivers high-resolution images that enable accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
Hip fractures are among the most serious orthopedic injuries, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporosis. A dedicated hip X-ray includes the AP pelvis view for bilateral comparison plus lateral views of the affected hip (cross-table lateral or frog-leg lateral) that provide detailed assessment of the femoral neck and head. Femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures each have different treatment implications, making accurate X-ray classification essential for surgical planning.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition where the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, leading to bone death and eventual joint collapse. Early-stage AVN may not be visible on X-ray, but as the disease progresses, X-ray reveals increased bone density (sclerosis), crescent sign (subchondral fracture), femoral head flattening, and secondary osteoarthritis. MRI is more sensitive for early detection, but X-ray is essential for staging and monitoring progression.
