Understanding x-rays

An x-ray is a noninvasive and painless medical imaging test that is used to diagnose and monitor a variety of bone, chest, abdominal and soft tissue disorders. X-rays use a small dose of ionizing radiation, which is used to produce two-dimensional pictures of body structures.

Who Needs An X-Ray?

If you have a concern that you have gone to their doctor about and they have more questions, an x-ray may be recommended to gather more information. The most well-known use is for suspected broken bones.

X-rays are used for a range of other possible conditions, such as chest x-rays for conditions affecting your lungs. They may be the baseline test to a series of more tests if needed.

Choosing CAMIS For X-Rays

At CAMIS, we pride ourselves on providing the expert care you deserve and delivering a quick and comfortable x-ray experience.

We understand that the need for an x-ray may be unexpected, so we prioritize having walk-in x-rays at our Red Deer locations Monday to Friday. Wait times vary, but are typically the fastest that you can access an x-ray in the area. You can call the location you plan to visit for more information.

X-Ray Additional Information

It is important to us to empower you with knowledge regarding x-rays so you can feel comfortable and prepared for your appointment.
X-rays are a form of energy, similar to light and radio waves. They are used to produce images of the structures inside the body, most commonly bones.

Evidence supports that the radiation x-ray is extremely low and comparable to radiation that we are exposed to as part of daily living. The benefits of x-rays outweigh any possible side effects, which are very unlikely.

Frequently Asked Questions

About X-Ray

After an x-ray, we send the photos and related information to your physician. Your physician will call you to explain the results of the x-rays. We are unable to show you the x-ray photos or provide you with interpretations on the spot.

If your child is getting an X-ray, we understand they may need your comfort. A parent or guardian is welcome to accompany their child into the X-ray room to provide emotional support and help position them, up until the moment the X-ray image is actually being taken.

For the brief few seconds of radiation exposure during the X-ray capture itself, parents will be asked to step outside the room. Our technologists are highly experienced in working with children to make the process as quick and stress-free as possible.

For safety reasons, particularly due to radiation exposure, children are strictly unable to be present in the X-ray room while images are being taken. Unfortunately, our facility does not have dedicated childcare services.

If you must bring children with you to your X-ray appointment, please ensure they are old enough to be left unsupervised in the waiting area for a short period and have quiet activities (like books or tablets) to keep them entertained while you are in the exam room.

If you are a patient with limited mobility – please contact us so we can prepare for your visit and provide the right recommendations. Our location is ramp-accessible and we will do our best to provide any additional aid as needed.

For general X-ray exams, no appointment is needed. CAMIS welcomes patients on a walk-in basis. Please ensure you have a valid physician’s requisition (referral) and bring your healthcare card with you.

X-rays are available at two CAMIS locations:

– Red Deer Main Office Hours: 7:15 am. – 4:00 pm
– Notre Dame Plaza Office Hours: 7:15 am. – 4:00 pm

An X-ray of your eyes is specifically required before an MRI if you have a history of an eye injury that involved metal fragments (e.g., from grinding, welding, or shrapnel) and required medical treatment. This is a crucial safety precaution to rule out any metallic foreign bodies in or near your eyes, as the strong magnetic field of the MRI could cause them to move and cause serious injury.

We don’t have the necessary X-ray equipment installed at our Sylvan Lake location. X-ray services are available at both our Red Deer Main and Notre Dame locations.

It is absolutely imperative and critical that you immediately alert your doctor and the X-ray technologist if there is any possibility that you are pregnant, or even if you just suspect you might be. X-rays involve radiation, which can pose risks to a developing fetus. We will then discuss alternative imaging methods or necessary precautions to ensure the safety of your pregnancy.

An X-ray of your eyes is specifically required before an MRI if you have a history of an eye injury that involved metal fragments (e.g., from grinding, welding, or shrapnel) and required medical treatment. This is a crucial safety precaution to rule out any metallic foreign bodies in or near your eyes, as the strong magnetic field of the MRI could cause them to move and cause serious injury.

We don’t have the necessary X-ray equipment installed at our Sylvan Lake location. X-ray services are available at both our Red Deer Main and Notre Dame locations.

It is absolutely imperative and critical that you immediately alert your doctor and the X-ray technologist if there is any possibility that you are pregnant, or even if you just suspect you might be. X-rays involve radiation, which can pose risks to a developing fetus. We will then discuss alternative imaging methods or necessary precautions to ensure the safety of your pregnancy.

After an x-ray, we send the photos and related information to your physician. Your physician will call you to explain the results of the x-rays. We are unable to show you the x-ray photos or provide you with interpretations on the spot.

If your child is getting an X-ray, we understand they may need your comfort. A parent or guardian is welcome to accompany their child into the X-ray room to provide emotional support and help position them, up until the moment the X-ray image is actually being taken.

For the brief few seconds of radiation exposure during the X-ray capture itself, parents will be asked to step outside the room. Our technologists are highly experienced in working with children to make the process as quick and stress-free as possible.

For safety reasons, particularly due to radiation exposure, children are strictly unable to be present in the X-ray room while images are being taken. Unfortunately, our facility does not have dedicated childcare services.

If you must bring children with you to your X-ray appointment, please ensure they are old enough to be left unsupervised in the waiting area for a short period and have quiet activities (like books or tablets) to keep them entertained while you are in the exam room.

If you are a patient with limited mobility – please contact us so we can prepare for your visit and provide the right recommendations. Our location is ramp-accessible and we will do our best to provide any additional aid as needed.

For general X-ray exams, no appointment is needed. CAMIS welcomes patients on a walk-in basis. Please ensure you have a valid physician’s requisition (referral) and bring your healthcare card with you.

X-rays are available at two CAMIS locations:

– Red Deer Main Office Hours: 7:15 am. – 4:00 pm
– Notre Dame Plaza Office Hours: 7:15 am. – 4:00 pm

Always have a professional and kind experience with CAMIS. I was lucky enough to have Debbie this last time and she was incredibly kind and gentle for a procedure that can be uncomfortable. Very thoughtful and walked me through everything with humor and unmatched professionalism. All staff have been great in my experience.

I had an amazing experience having my test done here today. Jordyn was very personable (great interpersonal and communication skills) – made me feel at ease and comfortable during my test. She is an excellent ultrasound technologist! She explained the procedures and my test was done on time. Thank you for the excellent service Jordyn!

I cannot say enough good things about all the staff and doctors I interacted with the last two days. What was a very scary and stressful time was made enjoyable, easy, understandable and friendly. Everyone from the greeter at the door to front desk staff to all the wonderful nurses and technicians made this whole process so easy and relieving.

I had a Barbotage treatment at the new CAMIS Notre Dame location. I have to say the staff there are excellent. The one in the treatment room with me was so kind, considerate and compassionate). I just want to compliment the lovely lady who assisted the Doctor who was also exceptionally good at trying not to cause me any more pain. Great job done by both of them.
