TotalMED Radiology.
X-ray, or radiography, refers to procedures that use standard x-rays to view parts of the body.

Exam preparation

• Preparation for your x-ray exam will depend on the type of exam; a CDI representative will call you prior to your appointment to provide specific instructions, and review health and insurance information.
  
• Notify a member of TotalMED’s staff if you are nursing or if there is a chance you could be pregnant.
  
• Please bring previous imaging study results (x-ray, MRI, CT, etc.) such as reports, films or CD-roms if available.
  
• Please arrive 15 minutes early to verify your registration.

During the exam – what to expect

• Conventional radiography (x-ray) is a simple, painless procedure that enables the radiologist to analyze the bony and soft tissue anatomy for diagnosis. The average x-ray study takes 15-20 minutes.
