    • What is an X-ray?

    An X-ray is electromagnetic radiation that is able to penetrate the body and produce an image. Radiologists at University of Michigan Health offer walk-in x-ray service at a variety of locations, for the utmost convenience for you. We also take care to produce the highest quality exams at the lowest possible radiation exposure.

    Our Approach

    We perform nearly 250,000 x-ray exams a year. And thanks to our cutting-edge digital equipment for faster turnaround, along with comprehensive readings by expert radiologists, some studies are available immediately, with an average turnaround time within 24 hours.

    We provide general and musculoskeletal imaging services for:

    • Emergency Department patients, both adult and pediatric
    • University Hospital inpatients, including the operating rooms

    General Imaging services include x-rays, including chest, abdominal and bone x-rays. Musculoskeletal imaging services include cartilage, joints, ligaments muscles and tendons. In cases of medical urgency or emergency, some of our services can be brought to the patient as a portable x-ray.

    Contact Us

    All examinations are on a walk-in basis; appointments are not necessary. If you have any questions about our x-ray service contact us as 734-936-4500.
