Do urgent care clinics provide on-site diagnostics and X-rays?


Most urgent care clinics have on-site diagnostic machines and can provide on-site diagnostics and X-rays. And since most urgent care clinics provide walk-in service, you can get diagnostics and X-rays on a walk-in basis. This makes urgent care the best choice for care for minor but urgent injuries and illnesses, like a minor fracture or the flu. You can just walk right in for service and receive prompt attention on the spot.

When is it necessary to go to the ER for an X-ray?


Some injuries and illnesses require X-rays, but if a situation is or could be life-threatening, it’s necessary to go to the ER (emergency room). The following are some life-threatening or potentially life-threatening situations that may require immediate attention and X-rays at the ER:

Major/compound fractures
• Major concussions
• Sprains with completely torn ligaments or ligaments that have separated from bone
The flu with a fever in kids under three months old

There can be other situations that require attention at the ER. However, if a situation is non-life-threatening, like a minor concussion, simple fracture, or minor sprain, then it’s okay to go to urgent care for X-rays. In fact, urgent care is best in situations like those.

What injuries does an X-ray show, and what illnesses can an X-ray detect?


X-ray imaging produces pictures of the inside of the body, and these pictures can show broken bones and other health issues. A chest X-ray can show signs of pneumonia, or a mammogram can show signs of breast cancer.

There are lots of different health issues X-rays can help diagnose, including broken bones, dislocations, arthritis, osteoporosis, lung cancer, breast cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, and even heart failure. X-rays can also help detect foreign objects like metal fragments.

Is radiology the same as X-rays?


The term “radiology” refers to imaging scans that help diagnose patients. Some of these scans involve low doses of radiation, and this helps create highly detailed images. An X-ray is an example of radiology and a scan that uses low-dose radiation.
