Radiology Expert Kenneth C. Andrews Shares Guidance on Portable X-Ray Scheduling in HelloNation
SYRACUSE, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What should patients ask their doctor about scheduling a portable X-ray? In a featured article in HelloNation, Kenneth C. Andrews of K & A Radiologic Technology Services, Inc. explains the key questions that patients and caregivers should raise when evaluating mobile imaging as an option. For individuals who are homebound or reside in long-term care settings, portable radiography can eliminate transportation challenges while providing the same diagnostic quality as traditional imaging environments.
The first step is to determine if a portable X-ray is clinically appropriate for the condition at hand. Many common exams—such as chest, abdominal, or orthopedic studies—can be performed at bedside using digital imaging systems that meet or exceed hospital-grade standards. Andrews stresses the importance of discussing this with the referring physician, as not all radiologic needs are suited for mobile delivery.
Coordination is another area that benefits from patient inquiry. In most cases, the healthcare provider will arrange the mobile service directly with a licensed portable radiology provider. These technologists are certified to conduct exams in non-clinical environments and use equipment calibrated to meet all regulatory guidelines. The images are securely transmitted to a radiologist, and results are typically returned promptly to the ordering physician.
As the article notes, asking the right questions—such as whether a portable X-ray is appropriate, how the scheduling will be handled, and when results will be available—can ensure a smooth diagnostic experience. Mobile radiography is not a universal replacement for all imaging procedures, but when applied correctly, it supports faster diagnosis, reduces patient stress, and enhances care continuity.
