X-Ray
Our X-ray department offers both traditional imaging and
Digital Dynamic Radiography (DDR) — a breakthrough, low-dose technology that captures anatomy in motion.
The DDR can acquire up to 15 sequential radiographs per second, allowing
your provider to observe physiological cycles, as well as individual radiographic
images. We also perform scoliosis and bone length exams, and no appointment
is needed for X-ray or DDR.
Important Note for Patients
For your safety, a medical screening is required before entering the MRI
suite. If you have ANY implanted medical devices, our MRI technologists
must review and confirm they are MRI safe on our system. Please bring
your implant identification card, if you have one, to your appointment.
Please note: We are not able to perform MRI scans on patients with pacemakers at our facility.
Many insurance providers require prior authorization for advanced imaging
exams such as CT and MRI. This process may take up to two weeks to complete.
Once authorization is secured, our team will promptly contact you to schedule
your appointment
If your referring provider is outside of the Norman Regional Health System,
you will need to request a copy of your images on a disc, as we are unable
to send them electronically.
