X-ray Imaging Without An Appointment Or A Wait.

X-ray remains the quickest way to check bone, chest and joint concerns and our digital system captures images in seconds with a fraction of the exposure older film required. A board certified radiologist reads every study.

What an X-ray shows

The fastest look inside bone, chest and joints

A brief pulse of radiation passes through the body toward a digital detector and dense structures such as bone absorb more of it than air or soft tissue does. The difference in what reaches the detector is what forms the image.

Because it takes seconds and needs no preparation, X-ray is almost always where a diagnostic workup begins.

What physicians order an X-ray to investigate

  • Bone: Breaks, dislocations, alignment after casting, arthritis changes.
  • Chest: Pneumonia, fluid around the lungs, heart enlargement, collapse.
  • Joints: Narrowed spaces, spurs, degenerative wear in knees and hips.
  • Abdomen: Blockages, trapped air, some kinds of swallowed objects.
  • Clearance: Pre operative chest films and employment or sports screening.

Studies available at our center

We perform chest films, extremity views covering hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles and feet, plus spine and abdominal series. Multiple angles are usually captured for each region, since a fracture invisible from the front often becomes obvious from the side.

How much radiation is involved

A single chest film delivers roughly what you absorb from the environment over several days of ordinary life, which places it among the lowest exposures in diagnostic imaging. Shielding is provided where appropriate. Tell the technologist if you are pregnant or think you might be.

What sets our center apart

Why Choose RapidRad Imaging Services?

This center addresses the four things X-ray patients care about most: keeping costs low, coverage simple, access immediate and visits short.

Cost

Affordable rates

X-ray remains among the most affordable studies we offer, priced openly with no add on fees appearing later on your statement.

Insurance

Broader plan acceptance

Most major carriers cover routine radiography and our front desk confirms your benefits while you are completing registration.

Access

Walk in, no appointment

Come in any business day up to one hour before closing. No booking, no callback, no waiting days for a slot to open up.

Comfort

Help with positioning

Injured or stiff patients get assistance holding each position and our technologists work around casts, braces and limited mobility.

Equipment

Digital radiography

Images appear in seconds rather than minutes, at a fraction of film era exposure and reach your physician the very same day.

Communication

Bilingual staff

What we are imaging, why the angle matters and what happens next should be clear regardless of the language you prefer.

Before your appointment

Three simple things before you walk-in

Radiography needs almost nothing from you in advance. Arrive with your order during business hours and we handle everything else.

1

Bring the order from your doctor

No appointment is necessary, though a physician referral is. It tells the technologist which region to image and how many views the radiologist will need to answer the question.

2

Dress with the imaging area in mind

Skip clothing with zippers, snaps, underwire or heavy embellishment near the body part being filmed. Metal blocks the beam and casts shadows that can obscure genuine findings.

3

Mention pregnancy before we begin

If pregnancy is possible, say so during check in. Shielding, an adjusted approach or a different study altogether can be arranged before any exposure takes place.

Nearby and easy to reach

Imaging center built around Houston neighborhoods

We place our centers near the neighborhoods our patients call home, so quality imaging never costs you an afternoon of driving.

Common questions

X-Ray questions patients ask most

An order from your physician is still required, but no appointment is. Bring the referral and walk in during business hours up to one hour before we close. Without an order in hand, call us and we will explain what to request from your doctor.

Expect around ten minutes from the moment you enter the room. Each view takes only seconds to capture and most of the time is spent positioning the body part correctly. Registration beforehand usually adds another five to ten minutes.

The exposure from a routine film is very small, comparable to a few days of natural background radiation. Risk at that level is considered negligible against the diagnostic value. Always let us know about a possible pregnancy so we can discuss options.

CT provides far more detail, but X-ray answers many questions perfectly well at lower cost and lower dose. Physicians typically start with X-ray and move to CT only when the film leaves something unresolved or a complex injury is suspected.

Comfortable clothing without zippers, snaps or metal in the area being imaged works best. You may be asked to remove jewelry, glasses, hairpins or a bra with underwire, since metal blocks the beam and creates shadows across the image.
