X-ray exams are the most common studies performed in Diagnostic Imaging. These exams include X-rays of bones, joints, chest, abdomen and spines. Other exams that are performed include upper and lower gastrointestinal tract radiography, barium enemas, hysterosalpingograms, arthrograms, facet joint/SI joint/extremity injections, aspirations, biopsies and other special procedures.

X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation that can pass through most tissues of the body. Modern X-ray equipment produces high quality images using a minimum of radiation. The Radiologist will interpret the exam and the results will be sent to your Physician within 3-5 working days.
