General X-Ray

An X-ray is non-invasive and the most common type of medical imaging. X-rays use a small amount of radiation to create images of the body’s internal structures. Radiation dose is determined by the type of exam, the body area being imaged and the physical characteristics of the patient.

Radiation exposure from an X-ray typically is very low and the benefit from the imaging is substantial. The amount of radiation you are exposed to during an X-ray depends on the tissue or organ being examined. If you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, tell your technologist right away to determine next steps as X-rays can be harmful to unborn babies.

No. General X-ray is available on a walk-in basis. Check each office for X-ray hours of operation as they vary slightly among our locations. Please note: HSG and fluoroscopy exams are not available as walk-ins and must be scheduled.

There are no clinical preparations required for an X-ray and an appointment is not necessary. Visit our locations page for hours of operation and services. 

A board-certified radiologist will interpret your X-ray images typically within 24 hours and the report will be sent to your referring physician who ordered the exam. Your physician will then contact you to share your results.
