Digital X-Ray Imaging at Peak Performance, Grand Junction
Digital imaging is available on site, which means results are reviewed the same visit instead of days later.
Short answer
Digital imaging is available on site, which means results are reviewed the same visit instead of days later.
How it works
Digital capture, immediate review
Digital sensors replace film, producing an image in seconds at a lower radiation dose than older film systems for the same view.
Images appear on screen in the office, so findings can be shown and explained to you while you are still there.
When it is used
Imaging follows a reason
X-ray is ordered when the history and examination suggest it will change the plan: after trauma, with certain red-flag findings, or when a structural question needs answering.
It is not taken routinely on every patient, and you will be told why if it is recommended for you.
