What types of X-ray services do you offer at your Richardson location?

Do I need a referral to get an X-ray at your center?
Yes, it is most commonly the case that an X-ray can only be scheduled once a healthcare provider refers you to the procedure. Therefore, if you are planning to use an X-ray machine, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can make it medically necessary for you and all other patients and plan it accordingly. During emergency episodes, our emergency room in Richardson assists with completing X-rays (as a part of the immediate care process) without needing prior referral.
How does digital X-ray technology help patients?
Digital X-ray technology has several advantages, among which may include reduced exposure to radiation, faster process time, and the creation of higher-quality pictures. The patient eventually lives a healthier and safer life by minimizing human error to provide a safer and more efficient patient experience. Our ultrasound in Richardson renders us technology-adept and is an embodiment of our approach to advanced care.
What should I expect during my X-ray appointment?
You will be assisted in determining the ideal location for the area of your body to be examined in front of the digital recording plate and X-ray equipment during your X-ray Richardson. This can involve just staying still or, on occasion, maintaining a steady breathing pattern. In other cases, they’ll require you to strike a specific pose. It is a quick procedure that takes only a few minutes to complete and is painless.
How can I get my X-ray findings, and how long does it take?
Within 48 hours, the results of your X-ray should be available. Through the radiologist’s report and the generated images, the results of the radiological procedure will be sent straight to the referring physician who had requested it for you. In addition to giving you the test findings, they will help you understand the data and provide context for how it relates to your entire treatment plan.
