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.

Scheduling Your X-Ray

To schedule an X-ray or if you have any questions regarding our X-ray service, please call (812) 376-9353.

Please have the following information available when scheduling your X-ray:

• 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.
