Home X-ray Basics

What is an x-ray, how do home x-rays work, when are home x-rays used.

Examine an area that is causing you pain or discomfort.
Monitor progression of a condition, such as osteoporosis.
Check how well a treatment is working.

X-rays can detect a variety of problems, including:

Infections and fractures of the bones.
Loose teeth and dental abscesses.
Osteoporosis
Scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine).
Bone tumors (cancerous or non-cancerous)
Lung diseases and infections such as pneumonia
Swallowing or digestive tract problems (Dysphagia)
Swallowed items identification
Blocked blood vessels
Heart diseases, such as heart failure
Breast cancer

How to prepare for a Home X-ray?

An X-ray normally does not require any extra preparation. You can eat and drink normally before the procedure and continue taking your regular medications. If you have metal implants from previous procedures, always tell your doctor or radiologist. These implants can prevent X-rays from passing through your body and obtaining a clear image.

In some cases, you may need to take a contrast material or "contrast dye" before your X-ray. This is a substance that will help to improve the image quality. It may contain iodine or barium compounds in it. If you're having an X-ray that involves a contrast agent, you may need to stop taking certain medications and refrain from eating and drinking for a few hours.

>If you're pregnant, you should inform the doctor before any X-rays. X-rays aren't generally recommended if you're pregnant unless it's an emergency. Wear loose, comfortable clothing because you may be able to keep them on during the X-ray. Avoid wearing metal-containing jewelry or clothing (such as zips), as these will need to be removed.

What happens during an X-ray?

During an X-ray, you'll most likely be asked to lie down on a table or stand against a flat surface so that the part of your body being examined may be appropriately positioned.

The X-ray machine, which looks like a tube with a big light bulb, will be carefully targeted at the part of the body the radiographer will examine. The X-ray will only last a few seconds. You won't feel anything during the procedure. You must remain completely still while the X-ray is being taken in order for the image to be clear. Multiple X-rays from various angles may be obtained to obtain as much information as possible. It usually just takes a few minutes to complete the procedure.

Your child’s X-ray: Restraints or other techniques may be employed to keep a young child still or calm during an X-ray procedure. These will not harm your child and help you avoid repeating the procedure if your child moves during the X-ray exposure. You may be allowed to stay with your child during the test. If you stay in the room during the X-ray, you'll almost certainly be required to wear a lead apron to protect yourself from unnecessary radiation.

What happens after an X-ray?

Are home x-rays safe, home imaging form.

What Is an X-Ray?

What to Expect When Undergoing This Test

How It Works

When It's Used

Contraindications

How to prepare, during the test, after the test, interpreting results.

An X-ray, also known as radiography , is a medical imaging technique. It uses tiny amounts of electromagnetic radiation to create images of structures inside the body. These images can then be viewed on film or digitally.

X-rays often are done to view bones and teeth , making them helpful in diagnosing fractures (broken bones) and diseases such as arthritis . A healthcare provider may also order an X-ray to look at organs and structures inside the chest, including the lungs, heart, breasts, and abdomen.

This article explains when X-rays are used, how to prepare for one, and what to expect. It also covers the risks and benefits of the imaging test.

The tiny particles of electromagnetic radiation that an X-ray machine emits pass through all but the most solid objects in the body. As such, the image it creates, known as a radiograph, allows healthcare providers to visualize internal structures in your body.

What Is Electromagnetic Radiation?

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is a type of radiation that travels in waves and has electric and magnetic fields. Devices that use this type of radiation include X-rays, microwaves, radio waves, ultraviolet light, infrared light, visible light, and gamma rays.

Sometimes a contrast medium , a type of dye, is given to help images appear in greater detail. You might receive these via injection into a blood vessel, orally, or rectally.

X-ray images appear in various shades of white and grey. Because bones and metal objects are solid, less radiation passes through them, making them appear white on the radiograph. On the other hand, skin, muscle, blood and other fluids, and fat are grey because they allow most radiation to pass through.

Areas where there is nothing to stop the beam of radiation, such as air, or even a fracture, appear black compared to surrounding tissue.

When It's Used

X-ray technology is used for a multitude of purposes. For example, it can help healthcare providers evaluate symptoms and diagnose injuries.

Among the most common reasons for X-rays include:

Identifying fractures
Identifying infections in bones and teeth
Diagnosing cavities and evaluating structures in the mouth and jaw
Revealing bone tumors
Measuring bone density (the amount of mineral in your bones) to diagnose osteoporosis (a bone disease caused by bone loss)
Finding evidence of pneumonia, tuberculosis , or lung cancer
Looking for signs of heart failure or changes in blood flow to the lungs and heart
Revealing problems in the digestive tract, such as kidney stones , sometimes using a contrast medium called barium
Locating swallowed items such as a coin or tiny toy

This technology can also support other types of diagnostic procedures.

Fluoroscopy

During fluoroscopy , an X-ray image displays on a monitor in real time. Unlike X-ray images, which are still pictures, fluoroscopy is a moving image. Often, you will receive a contrast dye intravenously (in your vein) during this procedure.

Seeing moving images allows healthcare providers to follow the progression of a procedure (such as the placement of a stent). They can also view the contrast agent passing through the body.

Computed tomography (CT scan) is a technique that takes a series of individual images of internal organs and tissues. These “slices” are then combined to show a three-dimensional visualization.

CT scans can identify organ masses, see how well blood is flowing, observe brain hemorrhage and trauma, view lung structures, and diagnose injuries and diseases of the skeletal system.

Mammography

A mammogram is a breast cancer screening test that uses X-ray imaging. Mammograms can also diagnose breast lumps and other breast changes.

During a mammogram, your breasts are placed one at a time between two plates. A technician then presses them together to flatten your breast to get a clear picture. Finally, they X-ray your breasts from the front and sides.

Arthrography allows healthcare providers to identify signs of joint changes that indicate arthritis. It uses an X-ray and a special contrast dye injected directly into the joint.

Sometimes instead of X-rays, an arthrogram uses CT scan, fluoroscopy, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.

Having an X-ray doesn't hurt and isn't particularly dangerous. However, there are a few things to be aware of and discuss with your healthcare provider.

Radiation Exposure

Having frequent X-rays carries a very low risk of developing cancer later in life. That is because the radiation has enough energy to potentially damage DNA .

There are varying estimates as to how significant this risk is. What is known is that fluoroscopy and computed tomography both expose the body to more radiation than a single conventional X-ray. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that the risk of cancer from exposure to X-rays depends on:

Exposure frequency
Age at exposure
Which reproductive organs a person has
Area of the body exposed

The more times a person is exposed to radiation from medical imaging throughout their life and the larger the dose, the greater the risk of developing cancer. In addition, the lifetime risk of cancer is more significant for someone who's exposed to radiation at a younger age than for a person who has X-rays when they're older.

Studies have shown that those with female reproductive organs are at a somewhat higher lifetime risk for developing radiation-associated cancer. Researchers believe that since reproductive organs absorb more radiation and people with ovaries typically have more reproductive organs than those with testicles, this may be why.

It is essential to weigh the risks and benefits of having an X-ray, CT scan, or fluoroscopy with your healthcare provider. Ask if the imaging study will make an impact on your care. If not, it may be advisable to skip the test. However, if a diagnosis or potential changes in your treatment are likely to depend on the X-ray results, it will most likely be worth the minor risk.

Barium Sulfate Risks

There may be some minor risks associated with contrast mediums used during X-ray procedures, particularly for people who have asthma or other conditions.

Barium sulfate contrast materials are perfectly safe for most people. However, some circumstances can put a person at an increased risk of severe side effects such as throat swelling, difficulty breathing, and more. These include:

Having asthma or allergies , which increases the risk of an allergic reaction
Cystic fibrosis , which increases the risk of small bowel blockage
Severe dehydration, which may cause severe constipation
An intestinal blockage or perforation that could be made worse by the contrast agent

Iodine Risks

Iodine is another contrast medium used for X-rays. After exposure to this dye, a small percentage of people may develop delayed reaction hours or even days later. Most reactions are mild, but some can be more severe and cause the following:

Skin rash or hives
Abnormal heart rhythms
High or low blood pressure
Shortness of breath
Difficulty breathing
Throat swelling
Cardiac arrest
Convulsions

Given your overall health profile, a healthcare provider can help you determine if using a contrast agent is necessary and suitable for you.

Pregnant people are usually discouraged from having an X-ray unless it's vital. That's because there is a risk that the radiation from an X-ray could cause changes in developing fetal cells and thereby increase the risk of birth defects or cancer later in life. The risk of harm depends on a fetus's gestational age and the amount of radiation exposure.

That said, this recommendation is mainly precautionary. These risks are associated with very high doses of radiation, and a regular diagnostic X-ray does not expose you to high-dose radiation. Therefore, the benefits of what an X-ray could reveal often outweigh any risks.

If you need an X-ray during pregnancy, the following can reduce your risks:

Cover with a leaded apron or collar to block any scattered radiation
Avoid abdominal X-rays
Inform the X-ray technician if you are or could be pregnant

In addition, if you have a child who needs an X-ray, don't hold them during the procedure if you are or might be pregnant.

Often, an X-ray is done as part of a visit to a healthcare provider or emergency room to diagnose symptoms or evaluate an injury. X-rays also complement specific routine exams, such as dental checkups . These types of X-rays usually take place in a medical office or the hospital.

Other times, a healthcare provider recommends screening X-rays, like mammograms, at regular intervals. These are often performed at imaging centers or hospitals by appointment.

The setting in which you get an X-ray and its reasons will determine your overall testing experience.

It's impossible to generalize how long an entire X-ray procedure will take. For example, it can take just a few minutes to get an image or two of an injured bone in an emergency room. On the other hand, a CT scan appointment can take longer.

If you're scheduling an X-ray, ask your healthcare provider to give you an idea of how much time you should allow.

X-ray tests may take place in various locations, including:

Hospital imaging departments
Freestanding radiology and imaging clinics
Medical offices, particularly specialists such as orthopedics and dentists
Urgent care centers

What to Wear

Generally speaking, the X-ray tech will ask you to remove any clothing covering the X-rayed area. For some procedures that involve X-ray imaging, you'll need to wear a hospital gown. Therefore, you may want to choose clothing that's easy to change in and out of.

In addition, since metal can show up on an X-ray, you may need to remove your jewelry and eyeglasses before an X-ray.

Food and Drink

If you have an X-ray without contrast, you can usually eat and drink normally. However, if you are receiving a contrast agent, you may need to avoid consuming food and liquids for some time before.

For example, healthcare providers use barium to highlight structures in the digestive system . Therefore, they may tell you not to eat for at least three hours before your appointment.

People with diabetes are usually advised to eat a light meal three hours before receiving barium. However, suppose you receive the barium via an enema (a tube inserted into the rectum). In that case, you may also be asked to eat a special diet and take medication to cleanse your colon beforehand.

Cost and Health Insurance

Most health insurance policies will cover any medically necessary X-ray imaging. Of course, out-of-pocket costs vary and depend on the type of plan you have. For example, you may be responsible for a copay , or for the entire cost if you haven't met your deductible . Check with your insurance company to learn the specifics of your plan.

If you don't have insurance or you're paying out-of-pocket for an X-ray, the fee will depend on several things, including:

Which body part is imaged
The number of images taken
Whether a contrast dye is used

Similarly, if you are paying for your X-ray and have time to research the fees, you can call the hospital's billing department ahead of time to get a quote for the procedure. Doing so can help you know the cost you're obligated to pay.

What to Bring

You will need to have your insurance card with you at your X-ray. In addition, if your healthcare provider gave you a written order for the procedure, bring that as well.

Because X-ray procedures vary widely, it isn't easy to generalize the experience. So instead, ask your healthcare provider for details about what to expect in your specific case.

You may need to remove some or all of your clothing before the X-ray. A technician will escort you to a dressing room or other private area where you can change into a hospital gown. There will probably be a locker where you can safely store your clothing and other belongings.

If you have a test involving a contrast dye, you will receive that before your imaging procedure.

Healthcare providers may give contrast dyes in the following ways:

In a special drink you swallow
Intravenous (IV) line

Except for IV contrast dye, which allows for a constant stream of the material to be given, contrasts are administered before the X-ray. In other words, you will not have to wait for the dye to "take" before your imaging test.

How you receive the contrast depends on the substance used and what internal organs or structures your healthcare provider needs to view. For example, you might receive an iodine-based contrast dye injection into a joint for an arthrogram.

On the other hand, you might swallow a barium contrast to help illuminate your digestive system for fluoroscopy. Oral barium contrast dye may not taste good, but most people can tolerate the flavor long enough to swallow the prescribed amount.

If you have a barium enema, you may feel abdominal fullness and urgency to expel the liquid. However, the mild discomfort will not last long.

A conventional X-ray is taken in a special room with an X-ray machine. During the test, you will:

Place a leaded apron or cover over your torso
Stand, sit, or lie down on an X-ray table
Position your body in specific ways
Use props such as sandbags or pillows to adjust your position

Once positioned correctly, you will need to be very still. That's because even slight movement can cause an X-ray image to come out blurry. A technician may even ask you to hold your breath.

Infants and young children may need support being still. Guardians often accompany small children into the procedure room for this reason. If you attend your child for support, you will wear a leaded apron to limit your radiation exposure.

For their protection, the technician will step behind a protective window to operate the X-ray machine while also watching you. It only takes a few seconds to take the picture. However, often multiple angles of the body part are necessary. So, after your first image, the technician will likely adjust you or the machine and take another picture.

For a CT scan, you will lie down on a table that moved you into a cylindrical machine that rotates around you to take many pictures from all directions . You won't feel anything during a CT scan, but it may be uncomfortable for you if you dislike being in enclosed spaces.

When the tech has all the required images, you will remove the lead apron (if used) and leave the room. If you need to change back into your clothes, they'll direct you to the dressing area to change out of your hospital gown.

After you leave your appointment, you can return to your regular activities. If you received a contrast medium, a healthcare provider might instruct you to drink extra fluids to help flush the substance out of your system.

The barium-based dye comes out in your bowel movements, which will be white for a few days. You also may notice changes in your bowel movement patterns for 12 to 24 hours after your X-ray.

If you take Glucophage ( metformin ) or a related medication to treat type 2 diabetes, you need to stop taking your medicine for at least 48 hours after receiving contrast. That's because it may cause a condition called metabolic acidosis—an unsafe change in your blood pH (the balance of acidic or alkaline substances in the body).

Barium Side Effects

Keep an eye on the injection site if you received contrast dye by injection. Call your healthcare provider if you experience signs of infection, like pain, swelling, or redness.

Barium contrast materials can cause some digestive tract problems. If these become severe or don't go away, see your healthcare provider. These side effects include:

Stomach cramps
Nausea and vomiting
Constipation

Iodine Side Effects

Likewise, iodine contrast can cause symptoms. Let your healthcare provider know if you begin to have even mild symptoms after receiving iodine contrast. These symptoms include:

Mild skin rash and hives

Severe Side Effects

Call your healthcare provider immediately or go to the emergency room if you experience signs of anaphylaxis , a severe allergic reaction, including:

Swelling of the throat
Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Fast heartbeat
Bluish skin color

A radiologist specializing in analyzing imaging tests interprets the images from your X-ray. They then send the results and a report to your healthcare provider. Often, they will call you or have you come in to discuss the findings. In emergencies, you should receive these results soon after your X-ray.

Any follow-up tests or treatment will depend on your particular situation. For example, if you have an X-ray to determine the extent of an injury to a bone and it reveals you have a break, the bone will need to be set . Likewise, a breast tumor revealed during mammography may require a follow-up biopsy to determine if it is malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous).

X-rays are imaging tests that use small amounts of electromagnetic radiation to view the inside structures of your body. In addition to conventional X-rays, several other specialized forms of X-rays capture images in more precise ways. Sometimes a contrast agent can help healthcare providers see things better. These dyes might be given via injection, IV, orally, or rectally.

X-rays don't typically require preparation unless you are receiving contrast. In that case, you may need to avoid food and drinks for a few hours beforehand. X-rays do not take long—usually just a few minutes. Often, a technician takes multiple angles and images of the area. Afterward, you will be able to leave right away. If you received contrast, you might notice side effects. You should tell your healthcare provider about any symptoms you experience.

A Word From Verywell

For the majority of people, X-rays are harmless. However, if you have to have multiple X-rays over a lifetime, you may be at increased cancer risk. As such, it's essential to talk to your healthcare provider before you have an X-ray to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. And if you are or could be pregnant, tell the technician before undergoing the procedure.

3 Ways In-Home X-rays Are Changing Health Benefits

November 10, 2022.

X-rays From Your Living Room

Did you know that you can get a professional X-ray done from the comfort of your living room, bedroom, or kitchen? In honor of National X-ray Week, we'd like to d iscuss the sheer potential that in-home X-rays provide in transitioning our healthcare system to the innovation that it desperately calls for.

There is a common misconception that if you need imaging done for an injury or medical issue, it requires a tri p to the emergency room or your local urgent care. However, with in-home healthcare providers like EZaccessMD now available to patients as a telehealth + in-home benefit for employer health plans, that is no longer the case.

Nearly 70% of ER visits are not considered emergencies. With the average ER visit costing over $2,000, Americans lose approximately $47 billion a year receiving care in the wrong place. But despite the costs, this trend continues to hurt employers and employees across the nation.

When an X-ray is needed, employers have two options to provide:

a). Pay $2,000 for an X-ray at the ER.

b). Pay $12 for a subscription for in-home care for your employees using a health benefit such as EZaccessMD.

2. Convenient Care

By 2025, millennials will make up 75% of our workforce . Why is this important? Millennials expect convenience. Leaving the house to go sit in the waiting room is not convenient. After growing up with services such as DoorDash, Instacart, and Amazon, y ou're asking this generation to leave their house? Forget it ( read previous blog ). Bring the X-ray to them.

Healthy employees creates a more productive workplace with a happier workforce. By providing higher access to quality care, employees require fewer sick days, recover more quickly from ailments, and are less at risk for long-term illnesses. Employers are becoming more open to going beyond traditional wellness programs and incentives. To develop a healthy culture in your workplace, consider offering services that address your employees’ stressors (cost + convenience).

During National Radiologic Technology Week, an annual recognition of the vital role that imaging professionals play in delivering quality healthcare, EZaccessMD is highlighting the critical and sometimes life-saving care that our radiologic technologists (“rad-techs”) deliver to patients anytime, anywhere.

Today, Mobile Images’ X-ray services are available to a wide demographic of patients in need due to the company’s partnership with EZaccessMD. When a physician orders an X-ray for a patient, Mobile Images dispatches one of their qualified rad-techs for imaging, and patients have a diagnosis from a radiologist within an hour of their X-ray and an immediate follow-up consult with the EZ physician.

Furthermore, the Merchants have seen the benefits of this enhanced accessibility firsthand by adopting EZaccessMD into their own employee health plans. Tyler says that the service has been a huge driver of employee retention at Mobile Images over the past year. “Our employees are saving money, and so are we. They don’t have to pay for an emergency room visit when a quick phone consultation could determine an effective treatment plan.”

Making this benefit available to their employees allows them to offer the same quality healthcare that they show their patients every day. “Our rad-techs demonstrate so much care and empathy for our patients. It takes a gentle heart to do what they do, and offering them this service is just one of the ways that we thank them.”

EZaccessMD rad-tech arriving at patient's home

With that said, we'd like to take this time to thank every X-ray Technologist in the nation for the essential role they play in delivering quality healthcare. Your work matters. Everyday that you show up, even when it's hard and you don't feel like it, you are making a difference. Thanks to you, EZaccessMD’s X-ray services are now available to companies and their families across 29 states.

EZaccessMD is the only mobile urgent care that offers diagnostic testing and imaging in the home or workplace. Not only are we revolutionizing the way employees get care, we’re making it affordable for them and their employers.

Telehealth visits: What if you need an X-ray?

Newswise — LifeBridge Health, in continuing to provide care while keeping patients and team members safe during the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, is embracing telehealth visits .

Providers across our system are conducting appointments via videoconferencing technology that enables checkups, e-prescribing and other aspects of traditional visits if you have concerns about in-person appointments due to COVID-19 or if you simply want the convenience of connecting with your provider from home or work. Appointments via telephone, email or text might also be an option if you don’t have videoconferencing capabilities, as is the case with virtual doctor visits at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics .

“It is important for our patients to know that we care about them, we are here for them, and we will not abandon them during this crisis,” says John E. Herzenberg, M.D., FRCSC, FAAOS , director of the International Center for Limb Lengthening at RIAO. “Their inability to get to the office for appointments should not be an obstacle for them to getting good care. This is how we, as a department, Care Bravely.”

So, what if you need (or think you need) an X-ray?

Certainly, if you have an obvious deformity, you will need to go to an urgent care facility to get evaluated. But radiologic studies aren’t always necessary. If you are experiencing discomfort such as pain after twisting an ankle, a virtual doctor visit may save you the trouble of going to a doctor’s office or emergency room. Also, some patients, per their insurance plan, may be required to get X-rays at specific offsite facilities. If you do require a radiologic study, your doctor can order one during your telehealth visit.

“Rather than coming to our office for an in-person visit and then making a second trip to the radiology facility, patients can eliminate the need to travel to our office by arranging a telemedicine office visit,” says Robert M. Peroutka, M.D., FAAOS , a RIAO orthopedic surgeon.

You can discuss the results of your study with your doctor during a follow-up telehealth visit. Radiologic studies done at certain imaging centers can be viewed online by the physician.

“We can screen share with the patient and show them their x-rays on their computer, tablet or smartphone while we are videoconferencing,” Peroutka says. “If online viewing from a remote radiology facility is not available, then the ordering physician should be provided with the report by the radiologist.”

Based on the assessment, some treatments (medications, physical therapy, etc.) can be ordered remotely. “If the patient’s radiologic study reveals a situation where the patient needs to be seen in the office, such as a fracture requiring a cast, injection or hands-on physical exam, then arrangements can be made accordingly,” Peroutka says.

Offsite imaging centers will have their own protocols regarding the safety of their patients and staff.

“Patients should take the same precautions that are expected in any situation during the pandemic,” Peroutka says.

You can call 410-601-BONE (2663) to learn more about Virtual Doctor Visits at RIAO or to make an appointment.

Also, visit lifebridgehealth.org or call 410-601-WELL to learn more about our other services and scheduling an appointment.

News Feature | January 29, 2015

Portable x-ray services are on the rise.

By Chuck Seegert , Ph.D.

Instead of waiting at an emergency room to be examined, many patients are now opting to have X-rays taken in their homes. Especially convenient for the elderly or patients with significant illnesses, portable X-ray machines can take as little as 20 minutes and may even be able to digitally transmit information to a radiologist.

Portable X-ray machines have been available for some time. Generally, they have been used in hospitals to perform radiography on patients who are in such critical condition that they cannot easily be transported to the radiology department. These machines have also been used in the emergency room when a patient is being treated for traumatic injuries or in the operating room where patients may be undergoing various surgical procedures.

In some cases, it is difficult for patients at home to travel to the hospital, which has led to an increased use of portable X-ray services, according to a recent article from Reuters . The option may be particularly helpful for elderly patients, since a trip to the hospital could be risky. Alternatively, there are other patients who wish to be treated in the familiarity and comfort of their own homes.

Having an X-ray taken at home requires a doctor’s prescription. To perform the radiographic studies, a portable machine must be transported to the patient’s home, along with a trained and certified technician, according to Reuters . This is important to ensure a quality exam is taken, while protecting other people who may be in the home from unwanted exposure. For this level of service, an exam may cost about $300 without insurance coverage.

“Usually, in about an hour after we take an X-ray we give these results directly to the doctor,” Paul Fowler, founder of Specialty Portable X-Ray, Inc. in New York told Reuters . “With the digital X-rays, we are using probably less exposure than you would at the hospital.”

Other companies use digital transmission to send the X-ray images directly to the radiologist, according to Reuters . This increases the efficiency of the approach.

Despite the apparent benefits that portable X-rays offer, however, there may be some drawbacks. Some experts feel that portable exams offer a much lower quality than similar exams performed in a traditional X-ray department, according to Reuters.

“If you compare the quality of those kinds of studies with the quality of a study that was performed in a hospital in a radiology department or in a private radiology office, there is going to be no comparison,” Dr. David Levin, professor and chairman emeritus of the Department of Radiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, told Reuters . “If a portable X-ray is absolutely necessary because of the patient’s clinical condition, then it’s justifiable.”

Improving convenience and eliminating trips to medical facilities is an accelerating trend in the medical device space. Recently, a home lab system was introduced that combines wearable tech and nanoscale biomarker testing.

Everything you need to know to set up an x-ray room

May 20, 2022 2:05:53 PM / by Jennifer Hutchison

When it comes to x-ray rooms, compliance is key. The good news is that by following a few simple steps, you too can create a workable and compliant x-ray room for your practice.

Size of the x-ray room

First, you will need to choose the right location for the room. The x-ray room should be large enough to accommodate staff as well as the x-ray equipment. It's important to have enough space to accommodate all of the equipment that will be used, including a wall stand, tube stand, and lead-lined operator area.

When setting up a chiropractic x-ray room , it's important to make sure you have at least one 11-foot wall. This is because you'll need 3 feet for the operator area and 8 feet for the wall stand and tube stand when taking an x-ray at 72 SID.

If you don't have an 11-foot wall available, you can also use a portable x-ray unit with a special stand that will allow you to take x-rays at 72 SID. Either way, make sure you have enough space to take high quality x-rays that will help you diagnose and treat your patients effectively.

Urgent care x-ray rooms should be large enough to comfortably accommodate a table, which means a 12-foot by 14-foot room would be a good choice. In addition, the room should have good lighting and be free of any potential hazards. Once you've found a suitable size and location for your x-ray room , you'll need to make sure it's properly equipped. With the right space and equipment, you can provide quality x-rays for your patients in a timely manner.

Equipment room drawing

An equipment room drawing essentially outlines the orientation of the room, including where the x-ray equipment will be, and where the electrical needs to be installed. Once you choose the equipment you want, creating the equipment room drawing is the first thing to do so that we can make sure that all parties are aware of exactly how the room is going to be laid out.

Everyone from the physicists, the construction team, the cleaning contractor, the electrician, and the installer will know the orientation of the room and where everything needs to go to make sure that it's a smooth and a successful project.

Electrical components of the x-ray room

Next, you will need to ensure that all of the appropriate electrical components are in place. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a generator for your x-ray machine.

The size of the generator you need will ultimately depend on the power requirements of your facility. A small 30 kw generator can usually handle the needs of a small home or office, while a larger 60 kw generator is better suited for a larger facility with higher volume. If you're not sure how much power you'll need, it's always best to consult with an experienced electrician or engineer who can help you determine the best size generator for your needs.

Lead-lining your x-ray room

You will need to buy lead shielding to lead-line your x-ray room and protect both staff members and patients from the potential health risks associated with x-rays.

If you're looking to set up an x-ray room, we recommend you follow our instructions for lead-lining an x-ray room which involves 3 stages:

Completion of the equipment room drawing and radiation shielding intake form
Getting the physicist’s report pre-installation
Installing lead shielding

If you are looking to build or upgrade an x-ray room, our team of experts is ready to help. We can help create your equipment room drawing, implement the lead requirements from your physicist’s report, and assist you throughout the installation process. We have a wealth of experience in and can provide you with all the support you need to ensure a successful installation. So get in touch with us today and let us help you create the perfect x-ray room for your needs.

How much lead do you need to shield an x-ray room?

Lead shielding is essential, but how much lead shielding is required? This is where a physicist's report comes in. A physicist will take into account factors such as the occupancy level in surrounding rooms and the material composition of the building in order to determine how much lead is needed. The physicist's report will also specify the lead thickness required for each part of the x-ray room. With this information in hand, you can be sure that your x-ray room is properly protected.

How to register your x-ray system

When you are ready to register your x-ray system for your new x-ray room, there are a few steps you need to follow.

Register an X-Ray machine in your state

First, check to see if your state has any specific registration requirements for x-ray systems. Registering your x-ray system simply means that you are providing the government with basic information about the device, such as its location and intended use.

X-ray system registration is important because it helps to ensure that the machine is being used safely and in accordance with state regulations. In some states, there’s no need to register anything. In other states, registration is a simple process. However, in other states, the process may be more complicated and may require different fees.

Register an x-ray machine with the FDA

You'll need to register your x-ray system with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Registering your x-ray system with the FDA is a crucial step in ensuring that your equipment is installed correctly and meets all safety standards.

To register your machine with the FDA, your x-ray equipment installer will need to fill out Form 2579 to ensure that your x-ray system is properly regulated and meets all safety standards.

Finally, once your x-ray system is registered, be sure to keep your registration information up to date in case there are any changes or updates. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your x-ray machine is properly registered and compliant with all applicable regulations.

How do you finance a digital x-ray system?

When it comes to financing a digital x-ray system , there are a few different options available. The first thing you'll want to consider is your budget. How much can you afford to spend on the system upfront? This will help you narrow down your options. Then, think about what your business needs in a digital x-ray system and what features are most important to you.

You'll also want to consider how long you need the financing for. Some options may have shorter terms, while others may have longer terms. Interest rates and fees are another important consideration. Be sure to compare the total cost of the financing before making your decision. When it comes to business financing, one of the best ways to get favorable rates is to use other businesses as collateral. For example, if you're opening up a new practice but you already have an established practice, this can help you get more favorable rates.

It's important to shop around and compare rates so that you can get the best deal possible. Ultimately, the best way to get the best rates possible is to compare offers from multiple lenders and choose the one that offers the most favorable terms.

Financing options vary, so it's important to find one that best suits your needs. With a little research, you should be able to find a great option for your business.

By following the simple steps outlined in this blog post, you can create a safe and compliant x-ray room for your practice. If you have any questions or need help getting started, contact us . We’re here to help make your x-ray room workable and compliant with all of the necessary safety regulations.
