FAQs
What types of injuries require X-Rays?
X-Rays are used to diagnose fractures, breaks, dislocations, and other bone or joint injuries following accidents, falls, or sports trauma.
What is an X-Ray and how does it work?
An X-Ray is a type of imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation to create pictures of the inside of the body. It is commonly used to diagnose fractures, breaks, and other injuries. During the procedure, your child will be asked to stay still while the X-Ray machine captures images of the affected area.
Is an X-Ray safe for my child?
Yes, X-Rays are generally safe for children. The amount of radiation used in pediatric X-Rays is very low and the benefits of accurately diagnosing an injury far outweigh the risks. Our technicians are specially trained to use the lowest possible radiation dose to achieve the necessary results.
How should I prepare my child for an X-Ray?
Preparation for an X-Ray is minimal. Your child may be asked to remove any clothing or accessories that might interfere with the imaging. Our team will provide clear instructions and ensure your child is comfortable throughout the process.
How long does it take to get the results of an X-Ray?
The results of an X-Ray are typically available quickly. In most cases, our physicians can review the images and provide a diagnosis during the same visit. If additional analysis is required, we will inform you of the expected timeframe.
Are X-Ray services covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Our staff can verify benefits and answer questions about costs before your visit.
