Can I get an X-ray at an urgent care?


X-rays are noninvasive procedures that allow doctors to examine the internal structures of the human body (such as the bones, lungs, liver, bladder, kidneys, heart, stomach, and intestines). Doctors use imaging to diagnose and monitor diseases, injuries, and structural abnormalities of organs, bones, and structures. Broken bones, lung conditions, kidney stones, and certain abdominal conditions can all be diagnosed with X-rays at PrimeHealth Urgent Care.
 
X-ray machines are available at most urgent care clinics, so X-rays can be taken. Urgent care is the best option for minor but still urgent medical problems, such as minor fractures. X-rays can be performed at urgent care without an appointment, so you’ll be able to get one right away, right there. PrimeHealth Urgent Care offers onsite state-of-the-art X-ray machines and fully trained specialists capable of diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions.

When should you get an X-ray after a fall?


In addition to helping diagnose many conditions, X-rays are a versatile tool used by health care providers. In the event of a sprain, impact, or other injury that may result in a fracture, you should consult a healthcare provider at an urgent clinic who will decide whether to perform an X-ray.
 
Case-by-case consideration should be given to X-rays for injuries. In most cases, if your healthcare provider is unable to diagnose the issue via sight and touch, they will recommend an X-ray. X-rays can provide a clearer picture of what’s going on inside your body, which allows your medical provider to provide you with the best treatment possible.

How long do X-ray results take?


X-ray images are sent to a radiologist who examines them for abnormalities. In order to discuss your X-ray results with you, your healthcare provider will review the images and the radiologist’s report.
 
It usually takes one to two days for your X-ray results to be available in non-emergency cases. Usually, you’ll know your results more promptly if your doctor suspects the situation may be an emergency.
 
In case you need our services today, we are available seven days a week on a walk-in basis.

How do I know if I’ll need an X-ray?


The X-ray procedure produces a quick and painless image of the inside of the body. This
method helps detect a variety of conditions and is very effective at examining the bones.
 
The purpose of X-ray imaging is to produce a picture of the inside of the body. It is possible to examine most areas of the body with X-rays. Bones and joints are mostly examined with X-rays, but soft tissue, such as internal organs, can sometimes be examined. In addition to diagnosing broken bones, this picture can also be used to monitor other health conditions. For example, a chest X-ray can detect pneumonia or a mammogram can detect breast cancer.
 
A number of different health conditions can be diagnosed with X-rays, including arthritis, osteoporosis, breast cancer, pneumonia, lung cancer, emphysema, and even heart failure. In addition to diagnosing injuries like broken bones, dislocations, and others, X-rays are also used to detect foreign objects like metal fragments.
 
You are unlikely to be able to determine whether or not you require an X-ray. If your attending physician is unable to confirm a diagnosis following a physical examination and a description of your symptoms they may order an X-ray.
 
PrimeHealth Urgent Care offers comprehensive care for injuries and illnesses that are not life-threatening, including X-rays and treatment. You can get your X-ray results quickly receive a prompt diagnosis and save time and money away from a crowded emergency room when emergency treatment is not required.
