X-Rays:


We are proud to announce that all of our x-ray units are now digital. Old-school x-rays were chemically processed much like camera film. We currently have 3 Quantum/Canon DR (Direct Radiography) machines and a Konica CR Machine in our 3 main locations,Peabody,Middleton and Newburyport.


The physicians at Sports Medicine North decided to go with digital radiographic system primarily for speed and reliability. These x-rays units allow our physicians to view the X-Ray images within a few minutes of the X-Ray Technologists performing the exam which helps make your visit to Sports Medicine North easier.
