X-Rays

X-rays are used to take images of bones and tissues to diagnose a range of complications. An X-ray imaging study, or radiograph, involves a safe level of radiation to create these images. Healthcare providers use X-ray images to examine injuries such as broken bones and dislocated joints.

One of the most common uses of X-ray images is to help physicians diagnose a broken bone. However, they can be used for many other diseases and conditions if a physician believes the images will help to create a proper treatment plan. X-rays can be taken of many different parts of the body, such as the abdomen, bones, spine, mouth, and chest.

Who Needs X-Rays?

X-rays are safe for people of all ages, including babies, with the exception of pregnant women. Your physician might order X-ray imaging if you have the following conditions:

• Fractured or broken bone
• Pain or swelling
• May have foreign objects in your body
• Structural damage to soft tissues, joints, and bones
• Need a routine screening for cancer

X-rays allow your provider to take a closer look at what may be impacting your health and devise a treatment plan that suits the results.

Other Imaging Procedures

If any advanced imaging, such as MRI, CT, or ultrasound, is needed, we will refer you to a local imaging facility. We are anticipating adding in-house ultrasound services in the future.

No matter what type of imaging test you need to complete, you can expect our caring team to help you each step of the way and deliver an outstanding experience. We do all we can to help you feel comfortable during the procedure.

Preparing For Your Imaging Tests

We will provide specific instructions based on the type of testing you are receiving. Generally, for X-rays, follow these guidelines for the best possible experience:

• Don’t apply lotions, perfume, or creams before your appointment
• Avoid wearing metal objects, such as jewelry or hairpins
• If you are receiving a GI X-ray, do not eat or drink several hours prior to your appointment (as advised by your physician)
• Wear comfortable clothes
