quick and accurate diagnosis. A small amount of radiation is
used to make this picture.

Common X-Ray Questions
​
How is the procedure performed?
​
You may be asked to lie down on a table, sit in a chair or stand. A technologist will help you by positioning you properly. The X-Ray will take only a fraction of a second and is completely painless and invisible to your eye.
​
Is the procedure safe?
​
Radiation is used to make an X-Ray picture. We use the minimum amount of radiation needed to make your X-Ray picture. We believe that in almost all cases, the medical benefits of an X-Ray far outweigh the very small radiation risk. We monitor all requests for X-Ray to be sure all our patients get the most accurate diagnosis with the least possible radiation exposure.
​
What preparation is needed?
​
No preparation is needed.
​
What should I wear?
​
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You may be asked to change into a patient gown or scrubs.
​
How long will the procedure take?
​
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your exam time to verify registration information and prepare for the procedure. Allow 15 minutes for the exam, even though an X-Ray exposure typically takes less than one second!
​
What can I expect after the procedure?
​
There are no known immediate after effects of having a medical X-Ray.
​
When will my doctor get the results?
​
One of our radiologists will study the images and send a written report to your physician within one to two business days.
​
What if I think I may be pregnant?
​
Please let us know if you could be pregnant before X-Ray is performed. Pregnancy may prevent you from having an X-Ray.
