X-rays are one of the most common methods of medical imaging that SVPR offers as a walk in service, no appointment required. X-rays are a type of radiation that is beamed through the body. As x-ray beams pass through your body they are absorbed differently by various structures in the body, such as bones and soft tissues, and this is used to create an image.
Why would you need an X-ray? X-rays assist in diagnosing lots of conditions. From broken bones, lung and heart disease, organ blockages, and detecting foreign or surgical objects.
St Vincent’s Private Radiology offers dental imaging through Orthopantomograms (OPG), a radiograph that provides a panoramic upper and lower jaw 2D View of the mandible from ear to ear, including wisdom teeth.
X-ray procedures typically take around 15 minutes to complete. The X-ray is conducted by our qualified radiographer, reported by our experienced radiologist, and then shared with your doctor or specialist electronically.
You may be asked to lie down or sit in different positions depending on what is being examined. Sometimes you may need to wear a medical gown or protective clothing to shield parts of your body that aren’t being X-rayed.
All diagnostic imaging reports are sent directly to your referring healthcare provider.
