X-Ray
A picture produced by exposing photographic film to X-rays: used in medicine as a diagnostic aid as parts of the body, such as bones, absorb X-rays and so appear as opaque areas on the picture. Electromagnetic radiation emitted when matter is bombarded with fast electrons. X-Rays have wavelengths shorter than that of ultraviolet radiation, that is less than about 1 × 10 –8 metres. They extend to indefinitely short wavelengths, but below about 1 × 10 –11 metres they are often called gamma radiation.
You must have an order from a doctor, nurse practitioner, physicians assistant or chiropractor to obtain an x-ray.
No appointment necessary.
There are no preparations for this exam. Please remove jewelry that may be in the area of study.
We accept walk-in X-Ray patients, during normal business hours.
For continued patient and employee safety we may request the use of masks.
