Imaging Services Q&A

What imaging services are available at LBJI? 

LBJI offers X-ray and MRI services to help diagnose a wide range of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate test based on your symptoms and medical needs. 

What is an X-ray used for?

X-rays are commonly used to evaluate fractures, arthritis, joint alignment, and other bone-related conditions. They are quick, noninvasive, and often used as a first step in diagnosing orthopedic problems. 

What is an MRI used for?

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, joints, discs, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. It is often used to diagnose injuries or conditions that may not appear clearly on X-ray. 

Do I need an appointment for imaging?

Many imaging services require an appointment or provider referral. Our team can help coordinate scheduling and provide instructions before your visit. 

How long does imaging take?

X-rays are typically completed quickly, often within minutes. MRI exams usually take longer depending on the area being studied, but our team will guide you through the process and what to expect.
