X-Ray Services in East Bridgewater, MA

Most urgent care clinics have X-ray machines and can provide X-rays. In fact, urgent care is the best choice for healthcare whenever a situation is minor but still urgent, like a minor fracture. Urgent care can provide X-rays without the need for an appointment, so you’ll be able to get one done right away, right on the spot. At Nova Medical Group, we have an onsite state-of-the-art X-ray machine and fully capable specialists who can precisely diagnose and treat any common conditions.

Sometimes an injury or even an illness requires an X-ray, and if the situation is or could be life-threatening, then it’s necessary to go to the ER. The following are some life-threatening or potentially life-threatening situations that may require X-rays and immediate attention at the ER:

– Major concussions
– Major/compound fractures in which the bone is piercing the skin
– Sprains with completely torn ligaments or ligaments that have separated from the bone
– The flu with a fever in children under 3 months of age

The examples above are some of the many serious situations that require care at the ER, and there are other instances too. But if a situation is minor and non-life-threatening, like a minor concussion, simple fracture, or minor sprain, then it’s okay to go to urgent care for your X-ray.

With X-ray imaging, a picture of the inside of the body is produced. This picture can be used to diagnose broken bones and other health conditions. A chest X-ray can be useful for checking for pneumonia, or a mammogram can be used to check for breast cancer.

There are actually lots of different health conditions X-rays can help diagnose, like arthritis, osteoporosis, lung cancer, breast cancer, pneumonia, emphysema, and even heart failure. Of course, X-rays are also used to diagnose injuries like broken bones, dislocations, and others, or to detect foreign objects like metal fragments.

X-rays are very simple and totally painless, and have very little risk to a patient. The amount of radiation an X-ray produces is really small, so there is indeed very little risk, but there can be risks to young children, babies, or pregnant mothers.

Preparing for an X-ray is easy. Just before the X-ray, remove all metal objects and put on the hospital gown and/or lead apron the clinic provides, then you’re ready!
