Onsite X-Ray Services in Clarkston, MI

Most urgent care clinics have onsite diagnostic X-ray machines. And since most urgent care clinics offer walk-in service, you can get these diagnostics on a walk-in basis. This is why urgent care is the best choice for minor injuries and illnesses that need X-ray diagnostic services!

Some injuries and illnesses require X-rays, but if an injury or illness 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 injuries and illnesses that may require X-rays and care at the ER:

• Major concussions
• Major/compound fractures
• Sprains that have completely torn ligaments or ligaments that have separated from a bone

There may be other injuries and illnesses that require X-rays and care at the ER. However, if an injury or illness is non-life-threatening, then it’s best to go to urgent care for X-rays and care. For example, you can go to urgent care for a minor concussion, simple fracture, or minor sprain. Urgent care can see you right away with no appointment necessary.

X-ray imaging produces pictures of the inside of the body, and these pictures can help medical professionals diagnose broken bones and many other health issues. For example, chest X-rays can help diagnose pneumonia, or a mammogram can help diagnose breast cancer.

In fact, there are a lot of different medical conditions X-rays can help diagnose, including broken bones, dislocations, lung cancer, breast cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, arthritis, osteoporosis, and even heart failure. Additionally, X-rays can help detect foreign objects like metal fragments.

“Radiology” refers to imaging scans that help medical professionals diagnose medical conditions. Some of these scans, such as X-rays, involve low doses of radiation which helps create highly detailed images.
