Cardinal Points Imaging of the Carolinas

Walk-in x-ray at every location.

Quick answers matter. Every center has free door side parking and first floor access, so getting an x-ray is quick and easy.

What is an x-ray?

X-rays, or radiographs, are painless tests that help physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. They are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

Bring your order and walk in during center hours at any of our five locations.

What you should know

What can I expect during an x-ray?

Your technologist will position you for each view. You may lie on the table or stand. Holding still is very important, and you may be asked to hold your breath during the quick exposure.

How much does an x-ray exam cost?

Cardinal Points Imaging understands that the cost of an imaging exam can be a concern. Our rates for both insured and uninsured patients are substantially lower than the same exam performed at a hospital. We believe price transparency is important so you can be prepared for your financial obligations, if any. See what your exam may cost.

When will my results be available?

The radiologist will review the x-ray images and provide a diagnostic report that will be sent directly to your provider. The report is typically available to your provider within 24 hours. Many providers schedule time to discuss results with their patients, so check with their office to see when they will be available to review the information with you.
