Seattle X-ray

Are you in need of an X-ray in Seattle? Take a trip down to Align Chiropractic and see Seattle chiropractor, Dr. Justin Favreau, DC, for a stress-free, fast Seattle X-ray examination. We can better root out, understand, and treat issues with your bones and other internal structures, using Seattle X-ray technology.

Our Seattle X-ray systems use a form of electromagnetic radiation with sends beams of photons through your body. Film or computer sensors collect the photons that pass through your body, producing an image, depending on the density of the material it passes through. The only way to get a clear X-ray in Seattle, however, is to hold perfectly still while the image is being produced. For this reason we typically request that patients even hold their breath for the short time of exposure to ensure the clarity of the image.

The image is recorded on either a special, X-ray sensitive film, or on the computer. The different areas we choose to focus on in your X-ray in Seattle will affect the different shades represented in the image. The density of the structure being scanned determines the shade. All bones and metal material in your body will show up white on the image. Any air, such as in your lungs, will show up black on your Seattle X-ray. For areas of fat, fluids, or muscles, differing shades of grey will show up.

We have many different Seattle X-ray tests available on-site in the case that X-ray exams are required to determine the type of chiropractic care you need. We've equipped our office with the latest X-ray machines — that have been registered and have passed inspection tests — and the highest quality film. This means that your X-ray in Seattle will have the least amount of exposure, but still have the best possible imaging. Once the images are produced, they are promptly evaluated and sent to a radiologist for further analysis, if necessary.

Not everyone can get an X-ray in Seattle. If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or using an IUD, please let Dr. Favreau know. The radiation in is most harmful to fetuses and young children. You must take off any jewelry and put on just a hospital gown, as essential Seattle X-ray data can be obscured by metal and certain clothing materials. Please, give us a call at our office if you have any questions about an X-ray in Seattle we can help you with.
