X-rays are fast and completely painless. Once you arrive at one of our offices, an X-ray technology will lead you to a private room. An X-ray machine will be adjusted and carefully lined up with the part of the body being studied. The X-ray machine will produce a small amount of radiation that passes through the body, which results in a digital image being produced.

Usually, a few X-rays will be taken depending on the part of the body being studied. This allows for different angels and views of the body to be captured. It is important to remain as still as possible during the X-ray to eliminate any motion blur. X-rays take around 10 – 20 minutes to complete. Afterward, you are allowed to return to your normal, daily routine.

Our team of highly-trained X-ray technologists will provide you with specific guidelines regarding your X-ray if any preparation is applicable. Generally, X-rays require no form of preparation. Follow these guidelines below:

• If you have an appointment, please arrive 15 minutes early.
• Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothing.
• Avoid any articles of clothing or accessories that contain metal objects such as jewelry, belts, buttons, zippers, and so forth.

An X-ray is a painless and non-invasive medical imaging technique. It is important to remember that an X-ray produces a very small amount of radiation in order to highlight the part of the body being scanned.

While an appointment is preferred, our office locations offer walk-in X-rays. Please understand that as a courtesy to our patients who scheduled an appointment previously, they will be assisted first.

Please bring your prescription, insurance card, photo identification, and cost-share (estimated deductible, co-pay, or co-insurance).

X-rays are one of the fastest medical imaging techniques available. As soon as your study is complete, the results will be reviewed by a board-certified, subspecialized radiologist and sent to your doctor within hours.
