What digital X-ray shows.
Digital X-ray (computed radiography) uses electronic sensors instead of film, producing images that appear on-screen within seconds — with roughly 70% less radiation than traditional film-based X-ray. It's the fastest way to evaluate bones, joints and certain chest conditions.
Our X-ray equipment is on-site 24/7. There's no separate imaging center to visit and no referral required — your ER physician reviews the images directly during your visit.
Common reasons for an X-ray.
- ✓Suspected fracture or broken bone
- ✓Joint injuries and dislocations
- ✓Pneumonia or chest infection
- ✓Suspected foreign object

Frequently asked questions.
How much radiation does a digital X-ray use?
Digital X-ray uses roughly 70% less radiation than traditional film-based X-ray while producing clearer, immediately viewable images.
How long does it take to get X-ray results?
Digital X-ray images appear on-screen within seconds of the scan, and your ER physician reviews them during your same visit.
Do I need a referral for an X-ray?
No. You can walk in 24/7 without an appointment or referral. Our ER physicians determine whether an X-ray is appropriate for your symptoms.
Can an X-ray always detect a fracture?
X-ray detects most fractures, but some subtle fractures (like certain stress fractures) may need a CT scan for a definitive diagnosis. Your ER physician will advise if further imaging is needed.
Is X-ray safe for children?
Yes. We adjust positioning and settings appropriately for pediatric patients, and X-ray is a standard, well-established tool for evaluating injuries in children.
