X-Ray Checkout Policy

Since Tullahoma Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine has moved to a new facility, we now have state of the art digital x-ray imaging. We no longer have x-ray developing equipment or copiers for old style analog x-ray images, which means we do not make regular x-rays. If you require a copy of an x-ray and it is in our digital processing system, we can print on paper, copy to a CD-ROM, or e-mail the image.

Our older x-ray files and current digital x-rays are part of your medical record. For copies of our x-ray film you may bring a camera and take a picture of the film.

We appreciate your understanding of this policy, and our desire to protect the medical/legal document that we have in our possession. Due to our busy schedule, your request may take 3-5 days to complete.
