Diagnostic Radiology
X-Ray imaging is a quick and easy way for a physician to view and assess common abnormalities, such as broken bones, pneumonia, gastrointestinal or genitourinary problems utilizing ionizing radiation. The use of Radiography or Fluoroscopy will be employed to best image the specific area of concern. Information obtained will assist your physician in determining your course of treatment.
How to prepare and what to expect:
During your procedure, the Technologist will explain the procedure to you and answer any questions you may have. Every effort will be made to make you as comfortable as possible. During your procedure, the Technologist will position you for the exam and several images will be obtained depending upon the procedure performed. Very similar to taking a photograph, you will be asked to hold your breath or not move while the image exposure is made to reduce the chance of a “blurry” picture and the need for repeat imaging.
Procedure times can range from approximately 15 minutes to 2 hours or more.
If preparation is required for your procedure, you will be given this information at the time the procedure is scheduled.
