X-Ray Q&A

What are X-rays?

X-rays are simple and painless diagnostic tests that produce images of structures (particularly bones) inside your body. Bones show up as white on X-rays, while air shows up as black. Muscle and fat tissue appear as different shades of gray.

Why might I need X-rays?

Your doctor may recommend an X-ray to detect or rule out the following:

  • Fractures
  • Bone infections
  • Arthritis
  • Dental problems
  • Osteoporosis
  • Low bone density
  • Bone cancer
  • Lung infections
  • Pneumonia
  • Tuberculosis
  • Lung cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Heart or blood vessel disorders
  • Digestive tract problems
  • Swallowed items

X-rays allow your doctor to diagnose a variety of different conditions. They review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, complete a physical exam, and may order lab tests in addition to X-rays.

How should I prepare for X-rays?

Follow your doctor’s instructions to prepare for getting X-rays. Wear comfortable clothes or change into a hospital gown. Remove eyeglasses, jewelry, or other metal objects. 

What happens during X-rays?

During X-rays, you lie down or sit very still while an X-ray machine passes a safe level of radiation through your body to develop images. The procedure is fast and painless, as you can’t feel it. Your technologist might ask you to hold your breath at specific times during X-ray imaging. 

What should I expect after getting X-rays?

After getting X-rays, you can resume a normal routine as there’s no downtime afterward. 

Our board certified radiologist interpret the results of the X-rays and your doctor discusses them with you. They let you know if you need further diagnostic testing or treatment for an illness, injury, or chronic disease.
