X-Ray
An X-ray is an image (picture) of bones and internal organs. X-rays are most often used to detect bone or joint problems, or to check the heart and lungs (chest X-ray). X-rays work by sending small amounts of radiation through the body. If an X-ray has been ordered, our doctor has decided that its value outweighs any risk.
X-Ray Tips
Wear clothes with no metal closures. Avoid wearing jewelry. You may have to change into a gown, or remove items with metal. These items may block part of the X-ray. Be ready to discuss your overall health. This includes any symptoms you have and why you need the procedure.
