Conventional radiography (x-ray) is a simple and painless procedure that enables the radiologist to interpret the bony and soft tissue anatomy for a diagnosis.  

Tomography is a series of x-rays that focus on a specific level within the body.  Tomographic exams show precise and detailed images of selected tissue, organs, or bony anatomy.  

Before your procedure, the technologist may ask you to change into a gown if there is any metal in your clothing.  You will be positioned on the x-ray table and the technologist will take the x-rays which may include several views.  

After your films are processed, our radiologist will read your films and prepare a report for your physician.  If you need to take films to your physician, inform the technologist.

X-rays do not require an appointment.
