- What is x-ray?
X-Ray is used to produce images of your bones and internal organs. X-Rays use a small amount of radiation to the area of interest in order to produce the images. The amount of radiation used is minimal and very safe.
This procedure may take 5-30 minutes.
*If you think you may be pregnant, please inform your physician or the technologist before your exam*
