DIGITAL X-Ray

Routine x-rays involve exposing a part of the body to a small dose of radiation to produce an image of the bones or internal organs. When x-rays penetrate the body they are absorbed in varying amounts by different parts of the body. The most common use of routine x-ray is to diagnose bone injury and disease, such as fractures, bone infections and osteoarthritis. If you think you may be pregnant, please tell the technologist so that we can decide the best way to evaluate your situation.

What Should I bring to my appointment?

 

  • Bring the prescription from your physician and any insurance information including your referral or pre-certification on the day of your appointment. If you do not bring this information, we will have to reschedule your appointment.

 

  • Please remember to bring or send any previous test results, films or cd’s.

 

  • Arrive 15 minutes ahead of time to fill out forms, unless you have already filled them out.

 

  • We ask many questions about your medical history. This aids the radiologist in making the best diagnosis and determine any health risks.
