Digital X-Ray

Digital X-ray uses small amounts of ionizing radiation to demonstrate anatomical structures. You will be asked to lie on a special table and the radiographer will position you for the examination. You may be required to have contrast agents depending on the type of test ordered by your physician. Some common diagnostic X-ray exams performed at OSF St. Francis Hospital are:

• Colon


• Small Bowel


• Upper G.I. Series


• Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCU6)


• IVP
