i am looking for a release form to get x-rays from a facility for myself. these are my x-rays?

Question:

Answers:
Most people do not realize that when you have an x-ray, the facility that took the x-rays own the films, not you. This is by federal law. The facility must keep custodianship/records for 7 years after the exam. Most facilities will allow you to "borrow" your films to take for a second opinion or to a specialist. But, once the films are no longer needed, they are to go back to the facility there were taken. If your films are lost after you have "borrowed" them, the facility will charge you reprinting fees if that is available. You can sign a release form at the imaging facility where you had your x-rays. Call that facility and ask what is required from you.

Other Answers:
You could try your gp writing a letter to get copies. If it's a private facility, then you could probably pay for copies. A lot of radiology these days are making their images digital, rather than on film, so it could also help if you offer them a cd to burn them onto.

you go to the place where you registered to take your x-rays and ask one of the registration people.
