AFC Tigard X-Rays
An X-Ray is a quick painless imaging process resulting in structural images, specifically images of your bones. As the x-ray beams pass through your body they are absorbed by different amounts depending on the density of the materials they pass through. Materials such as bone or metal appear white. Fat, muscle and tissue appear in various shades of gray, while the air in your lungs will appear black.
Preparation
Please wear casual clothing and avoid metal objects. You will be asked to remove any metal within the scan area prior to the exam, including jewelry, bras with underwires, shirts with metal buttons, and body piercings.
Be sure to tell your health care provider if you are pregnant or have any chance of being pregnant prior to receiving an x-ray.
