Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an elbow X-ray take?
The actual imaging takes only 5-10 minutes. You may be asked to hold still in different positions for AP and lateral views.
Is an elbow X-ray painful?
No, the procedure is completely painless and non-invasive. You only need to remain still while the X-ray machine captures the images.
What does an elbow X-ray detect?
It detects fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone tumors, joint space narrowing, and soft tissue swelling around the elbow joint.
Is there radiation exposure?
