X-rays are painless and usually take only a few minutes to complete. However, X-rays for complex conditions or that require a contrast agent may take an hour or longer. During your X-ray, your technologist:
If your child needs an X-ray, we may use techniques or equipment to help keep them from moving during the test. These will not harm your child, and we take extra steps to help your child feel as calm as possible. Holding still during the X-ray is important because we need to repeat the test if your child moves.
In most cases, we allow parents or caregivers to remain with their child during the X-ray. Your child’s technologist will provide you with a lead apron to wear. This apron shields you from unnecessary radiation exposure.
General X-rays have no side effects, so you can typically resume your activities after your test. If you received an injection of contrast and are experiencing pain, swelling or redness at the injection site, contact your physician immediately.
One of our skilled board-certified radiologists reads and interprets your or your child’s X-ray images. In most cases, we send a detailed report to your referring provider within two days. If you have not received results within five business days after your exam, contact your physician’s office.
