Digital X-Ray — Fast Results, Same-Day Appointments
Our digital X-ray provides high-quality images for diagnosing fractures, chest conditions, and more — with same-day scheduling, minimal wait times, and rapid results.
What Is an X-Ray?
X-ray (radiography) is the fastest and most widely available diagnostic imaging technique. A small, safe dose of radiation passes through your body to create an image on a digital detector. Our digital X-ray system produces higher-quality images with less radiation than traditional film X-rays, and results are available almost immediately. It's the go-to exam for bones, chest, and many other conditions.
What Can X-Ray Diagnose?
- Bone fractures and dislocations
- Chest conditions (pneumonia, heart size, lung nodules)
- Arthritis and joint degeneration
- Spine alignment and disc space narrowing
- Scoliosis screening
- Foreign body detection
- Sinus infections
- Abdominal conditions

What to Expect During Your X-Ray
Positioning
Our technologist will position the body part being imaged against the X-ray detector. You may stand, sit, or lie down depending on the exam.
The X-Ray
Stay very still for just a few seconds while the image is captured. The technologist may take images from several angles. There's no pain involved.
Results
Digital images are available almost immediately for our radiologist to review. Results are sent to your doctor within 48 hours (stat reads available).
Frequently Asked Questions
The radiation dose from a single X-ray is very small — comparable to a few days of natural background radiation. Modern digital X-ray uses even less radiation than traditional film. The diagnostic benefit far outweighs the tiny risk.

An X-ray produces a flat, two-dimensional image and is best for bones, chest, and quick assessments. A CT scan takes many X-ray images from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional views — better for soft tissues, complex fractures, and internal organs. Your doctor will order whichever is right for your situation.
No special preparation is needed for most X-rays. Simply remove jewelry and metal objects from the area being imaged. You may need to change into a gown. The entire visit is usually under 30 minutes.
