Why Is An X-ray Performed?
- Determine if a bone is fractured or a joint is dislocated
- Ensure that a fracture is well aligned, stable and healing properly
- Determine the presence of a fluid build up in a joint or around bone
- Evaluate for pneumonia or asthma
- Evaluate injury or damage from infection, disease, bone changes or to locate foreign objects
- Find the cause of pain, numbness or weakness
After the exam you are free to leave and carry on with your normal activities. A board-certified radiologist will interpret your results and provide a formal report to your healthcare provider.
