Some injuries are not easily diagnosable at first sight: certain internal problems can go undetected during a visual inspection, leading to major medical issues. Digital imaging tests, such as X-rays, can be taken to diagnose sprains, fractures and tissue injuries that require medical attention to treat and heal properly. AFC Urgent Care Southcenter has on-site X-ray, allowing us to quickly determine the best course of treatment for your injury.
Digital X-Rays are taken and processed faster than traditional film xx-rays. Film requires you to wait considerable time for a machine to free up and even longer for a dark room to be available to develop and finally analyze your images, digital X-Rays can be taken, processed and analyzed in a matter of moments. Digital X-Rays are also easier to transport and handle, storable on discs or thumb drives to take to a specialist if needed. Traditional films come out in large prints, which can be bulky and bend easily. Digital imaging also uses a fraction of the radiation needed for traditional film scans, improving patient safety.
There are many types of injuries that can be diagnosed through digital imaging tests from a number of causes including sports or automobile accidents, trips and falls or other incidents. Digital imaging can detect problems including:
If you have sustained an injury or are experiencing pain without knowing the cause, visit AFC Urgent Care Southcenter for digital imaging, diagnosis and treatment. Our walk-in urgent care center accepts most major insurance carriers and is open seven days a week. For questions about digital imaging, please call (425) 291-3300
X-rays do use small amounts of radiation, but they’re generally safe for adults and children. That being said, there are some cases where they can be damaging – to developing babies, for instance. Your AFC provider will take your circumstances into account and answer your unique questions about safety.
Your local AFC team can help you answer that question when you contact them. If you’ve experienced a fall or other injury and are in pain, an X-ray could help determine the best course of treatment. They’re also used in a variety of other circumstances.
At AFC, we always strive to get you in and out as quickly as possible, and the X-ray itself should only take around 15 minutes
