X-RAY

Westchester Radiology & Imaging was established to provide Medical experts with affordable, reliable X-Ray solutions.

​

A Diagnostic X-Ray is the use of X-Rays to identify healthy or abnormal conditions within the body. This is one of the most direct methods for detecting causes of certain health problems and checking your progress.

​

What is it like to have an x-ray?

You'll be asked to stand, sit, or lie near a movable x-ray generator and a digital recording plate. The technologist will help position you so the doctor will have the best view of the body in the X-Ray image. They may give you a lead apron to wear and will position the machine. The technologist may instruct you to hold your breath while the X-Rays are being taken (any movement will blur the image). Some examinations require the taking of several films.

​

The exam can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the reason you are having the test done. Afterwards, you can dress and return to your normal routine. The radiologist, a doctor, will examine the x-rays and share this information with your doctor.

​

In some cases, a substance called a contrast agent is used to help see areas that normally couldn't be easily seen on an x-ray. The contrast agent is usually made with barium or iodine. While x-rays are painless, there can be discomfort associated with contrast agents.

Please make your doctor aware if you are allergic to barium, iodine, or shellfish before having an x-ray that involves a contrast agent.
