Getting an x-ray is often a diagnostic procedure and may not make an event OSHA recordable. If the X-ray does not detect an injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, the event is not recordable. If it does detect such a condition, it is the subsequent treatment beyond first aid that makes the event recordable, not the x-ray.

The only time getting an X-ray could be OSHA recordable would be if the process were used for treatment of an injury or condition.

No.
No. It is OSHA recordable if the x-rays tell the doctors that you need treatment beyond first aid. Always presuming that the injury was work related and within the scope of your assignment, etc. etc.

If the x-ray is given to see if you have, for example, a broken bone, and it turns out that you do not have a broken bone, then that is not recordable. If you do have a broken bone, the event is recordable, not because you got the x-ray, but because treating the broken bone is more than first aid.

If the x-ray is treatment for an illness that is workrelated, that is more than first aide and the illness is recordable.

If the x-ray exposure itself is the workrelated event, for example you were unexpectedly exposed to radiation during the checking of a weld, then the event may be recordable, depending on whether the incident meet the other criteria of recordability.

The above all depends on the illness/injury meeting requirements for being work related, etc.

An MRI is usually a diagnostic procedure and therefore not OSHA recordable. However it would depend on why the MRI is gotten. Consult someone fmiliar with both the OSHA recording requirements and the specifics leading to the MRI.
