We went to the urgent care at the Albany OrthoNY after my son was injured at school. They got us right in. Dr. Adam Suslak was very thorough and great with my son and even showed him the X-ray of his fractured wrist! It was a very positive experience. We have more follow-ups to come and I feel very comfortable going back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What imaging services are available at OrthoNY Clifton Park?

The OrthoNY Clifton Park Imaging Center offers MRI, arthrogram, and digital X-ray imaging designed specifically for orthopedic diagnostics. MRIs are used for soft tissue injuries like ligament tears or disc issues. Arthrograms combine imaging and contrast dye to provide detailed views of joints, often used alongside MRI for enhanced accuracy, while X-rays are ideal for assessing bones, fractures, and joint alignment.

Why are both MRI and X-rays important for orthopedic care?

Orthopedic conditions often involve both bone and soft tissue structures. X-rays provide quick insights into bone integrity, joint alignment, and arthritis, while MRI delivers high-resolution images of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and discs. Used together, they offer a comprehensive view for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

How should I prepare for my MRI or X-ray appointment?

Preparation is simple —please wear comfortable, metal-free clothing and remove all jewelry. Let our team know if you have implants, pacemakers, or other medical devices. Unless otherwise instructed, no special preparation or fasting is required.

What is the experience like during the scan?

X-rays are quick and painless, typically taking less than 15 minutes. For MRI scans, you’ll lie on a padded table that moves into the scanner. The exam takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the scan, and includes ear protection and ongoing communication with our staff for your comfort and safety.

When will I receive results, and how are they shared?

Scans are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist, with reports typically sent to your provider within 24 to 48 hours. OrthoNY physicians receive results directly through our system, and outside providers can request digital access or printed copies.

Are imaging services at the Clifton Park location covered by insurance?

Yes. OrthoNY accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare, private insurers, and workers’ compensation. Our team verifies your coverage and handles prior authorizations when needed. We also offer self-pay options with clear, upfront pricing.
