Frequently Asked Questions about our X-Ray Imaging Services

Are X-Rays Safe?

X-Rays were discovered in 1895 and after more than a century later, they are one the most widely performed medical test. They are generally considered safe, even for children. Regardless of the long and tested safety record, X-Ray technicians always take precautions to ensure parts of the body that do not need to be imaged are not exposed to X-Rays and the minimum required radiation is used for the test. Pregnant women or those who may be pregnant are also given special protective gear before X-Rays are performed.

What are X-Rays Used For?

Most people associate X-Rays with broken bones and fractures but there are other situations where X-Rays can be used. For example, Chest X-Rays are Routinely used to diagnose (or rule out) pneumonia and tuberculosis. Similarly, stomach X-Rays can be used to identify bowel blockages.

Does Insurance Cover X-Rays?

Yes, most plans do cover X-Rays if a physician determines them to be medically necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. If you don’t have an insurance plan, we also offer reasonable out of pocket rates for our services.

Can Urgent Care Clinics and Minute Clinics do X-Rays?

Most minute clinics are not capable of performing X-Rays. The equipment requires specially trained technicians and most minute clinics do not have the staff nor the equipment to do X-Rays. Urgent Care Clinics (such as ours) often have the equipment and manpower to perform these tests and take curative actions based on the results.
