X-rays are painless, non-invasive exams that are used to detect abnormalities in the body. We’ll perform all general x-rays including but not limited to, chest, knees, ankles, wrists, hands, spines and hips.
X-rays are electromagnetic radiation that, when passed through the body, penetrate the internal structures creating a computer image digitally. The varying density of the different structures will appear distinctive from one another on the x-ray film.
How To Prepare:
To prepare for your x-ray exam, we recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing. You may be asked to put on a gown and to remove items such as jewelry or piercings.
If you’re pregnant or may be pregnant, please let your x-ray technologist know prior to the exam.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the examination your physician has requested, please call our main number at (914) 253-9200.
