All of our imaging procedures are performed on-site, and your X-rays are reviewed by board-certified radiologists to ensure that you have received the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan possible.

What Are the Different Types of Medical Imaging?
Our medical imaging center includes:
​
-
X-Ray: X-ray is used in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the skeletal system and some other hard tissues. It can also be used to diagnose other conditions like pneumonia and pleurisy.
-
Ultrasound: Also known as sonography, ultrasound uses sound waves to create images in instances where ionizing radiation may be dangerous and unwarranted. It is most commonly used in imaging during pregnancy.
​
-
Carotid Echocardiogram: It is used to test for constricted carotid arteries, which can lead to stroke. We use high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the insides of your neck's two major arteries.
Common Urgent Health Conditions That Need X-Ray Diagnosis

What to Expect During an X-Ray Visit at Our Urgent Care Clinics
An X-ray is a quick and painless procedure that gives your doctor a picture of what's happening within your body, allowing them to better identify the injury or illness.
​
Before advising any medical imaging during your consultation, expect your doctor to evaluate whether you require an X-ray.
​
If you do need an X-ray, our physician or X-ray technician will make you wear protective gear for a few minutes when you are exposed to the equipment. Some scans may require you to wear a gown or remove your jewelry accessories.

Your X-ray will be completed in a few minutes once you have been appropriately positioned to obtain the finest image, and our doctor will review the results with you.
