What is an X-ray?

An X-ray is a widely-used imaging test that’s both quick and painless. Taking an X-ray allows your medical provider to view the structures inside your body without making an incision.

To create an image, an X-ray will create beams that pass through your body. As this happens, structures absorb various amounts of X-ray energy based on their density. Dense materials like bone and metal objects show up as white, while muscle and fat appear gray, and the air in your lungs is black.

When would I need an X-ray?

X-rays are used to evaluate and detect various problems in children and adults, such as:

  • Broken bones
  • Arthritis
  • Bone infections
  • Osteoporosis
  • Bone tumors
  • Swallowed objects like keys, coins, or small toys

We also have specialized X-ray equipment to properly diagnose injuries and arthritis. EKG and blood pressure testing are also available.

Are there any risks in getting an X-ray?

X-rays involve radiation exposure, which is a concern to some people. Radiation can cause cellular mutations that may lead to cancer.

However, the amount of radiation exposure you get during an X-ray is within a safe range, and the benefits to your health are far greater than the risks.

It’s important to tell your medical provider if you’re pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant before getting an X-ray. They may recommend you get a different imaging test, such as an ultrasound.

What should I expect during an X-ray?

To prepare for the test, you may need to remove the clothing from the area being X-rayed. In some cases, you may wear a gown. You may also need to remove any jewelry, eyeglasses, or other metal objects as they can show up on the X-ray.

The digital X-ray results are available within minutes. The Chai Care radiologists interpret the X-ray and report the findings to your medical provider, who then explains them to you.

Then, they recommend the best course of treatment for your specific condition. If the X-ray reveals a broken bone, Chai Care provides comprehensive fracture care and casting services for minor injuries.

We take your health personally.
