X-Ray

An X-ray is a simple procedure performed to provide a two-dimensional picture of your body to use as a screening tool to evaluate for causes of many common disorders, such as bone breaks, joint and spine injuries or conditions, and arthritis or osteoporosis. Your doctor at Southern Indiana Orthopedics may recommend you have an X-ray to help diagnose your condition or injury.

Your X-ray will be scheduled at the time of your appointment. For any questions, please call (812) 376-9353.

On the day of your X-ray:

• If an X-ray has previously been taken, please bring the films with you to your appointment.
• If you are unable to bring your previous films with you, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
• Prior to your X-ray, you may be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, and any other metal objects, such as loose change, hearing aids, underwire bras, fingernail clippers, etc., that may interfere with the imaging.
• Depending on the area of the body that is being X-rayed, you may be asked to change into a medical gown for the X-ray.
• If you need copies of the X-ray performed in our office, please provide 72 hours' notice.
