X-Ray

A better X-ray experience.

A Walk-in X-ray is available at both the Louisville-Shelbyville Rd and Elizabethtown-Woodland Dr. locations. An X-ray is a common imaging test. It can help your doctor view the inside of your body without having to make an incision to diagnose, monitor, and treat many medical conditions.

Different types of X-rays are used for different purposes. For example, your doctor may order a mammogram to examine your breasts. Or they may order an X-ray to get a closer look at your gastrointestinal tract.

Quick answers and convenience are important, so we offer free front-door parking and timely results.

What is an X-ray?

X-rays, or radiographs, are a painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. They are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Heartland Imaging understands that the cost of an imaging exam can be a concern. Our rates for both insured and uninsured patients are substantially lower than the same exam performed at a hospital. We believe that price transparency is important so you can be prepared for your financial obligations, if any. To learn more about what your exam may cost, please click here.

The radiologist will review the X-ray images and provide a diagnostic report that will be sent directly to your provider. The report is typically available to your provider within 24 hours. Many providers plan scheduled time to discuss results with their patients so you could check with their office to see when they will be available to review the information with you.
