General X-Ray

Our radiology department, within medical imaging, provides diagnostic X-ray examinations for both inpatients and outpatients. Radiology encompasses a wide range of X-ray examinations, including general X-rays of the skeletal system as well as Barium studies and minor special procedures. Radiology services are available to provide 24-hour support to our emergency department.

General X-rays require a written requisition from your physician's office and are done Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a walk-in basis. Barium studies and minor procedures reqiure a referral from your physician to our bookings department at which time a registration time will be given.

Contrast Information

Some radiological examinations require the use of contrast media, an iodine containing liquid injected into the body to enhance x-ray procedures. When contrast media is used, a consent form must be signed. If you are unable to understand English, please bring a translator with you on the day of the exam. Mild reactions to contrast media include nausea and hives. More severe reactions, such as a drop in blood pressure, may occur. If you are asthmatic or have had an allergic reaction to contrast media in the past, please notify your referring physician and the secretary scheduling your appointment. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation or postponement of your exam. Your health is our priority, and it is necessary that we are aware of any possible risks or complications.

These exams require the use of x-rays. Therefore, you should postpone any of these exams if there is any possibility that you could be pregnant.
