See Clearly Inside with Advanced X-Ray Technology
At Pentus Health Imaging, we offer comprehensive X-ray services to provide detailed visualizations of your bones and internal structures. This non-invasive and painless procedure plays a vital role in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of medical conditions
X-rays utilize electromagnetic waves to generate detailed images of your bones and internal tissues. These images allow our highly trained professionals to examine your body internally without needles, injections, or incisions. The varying densities of different tissues within your body absorb X-rays differently, creating a clear black and white picture for accurate diagnosis.
Electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart), stress tests, and cardiac catheterizations are some common methods used to assess heart health.
X-rays are a versatile tool used for various diagnostic purposes, including:
X-rays can reveal abnormalities in the lungs, heart, and other structures within the chest cavity.
Providing essential insights into dental health and aiding in dental treatment planning.

X-rays are like invisible scouts for doctors, peering inside your body. Here’s the gist: a machine generates a burst of X-ray energy, which passes through your body. Denser tissues like bones absorb most of the X-rays, while softer tissues like muscles let them pass through more easily. A detector on the other side captures this information, creating an image where denser areas (bones) appear white and less dense areas (like organs) show up as shades of gray. This lets doctors see broken bones, infections in your lungs, or even your heart shape.
The inventor of the X-ray is generally credited to be German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. In 1895, he discovered this type of radiation while experimenting with cathode ray tubes. Röntgen named them X-rays because their exact nature was unknown at the time (X signifying the unknown).
The cost of an X-ray without insurance can vary depending on location and the facility performing it, but generally falls within the range of $100 to $1,000 with an average around $260 to $460. Remember, this is just an estimate. To get a more accurate idea of the cost in your area, it’s always best to contact the X-ray facility directly.
A chest X-ray can help doctors see why you’re short of breath by looking for clues in your lungs and heart. It might reveal signs of infection (like pneumonia), fluid buildup, or issues with your heart that could be affecting your breathing. Basically, it’s a quick chest snapshot to help determine the cause of your shortness of breath.
A chest X-ray is a snapshot of your chest that helps doctors peek at your lungs, heart, and bones. It can spot issues like pneumonia, heart problems, and broken ribs to name a few.
Yes, many Pentus Health urgent care centers offer X-ray services. They’re a convenient option for getting an X-ray for injuries or illnesses that require prompt attention but aren’t emergencies. This can save you time and hassle compared to an emergency room visit. However, it’s always best to call ahead and confirm if X-ray services are available at your nearest urgent care center.
