When Should You Get an X-Ray?

While many minor injuries heal with rest, some symptoms should be evaluated with an X-ray to rule out a fracture or other underlying condition. Visit AFC Urgent Care Beaumont if you experience any of the following:

• Pain That Doesn't Improve: Pain that continues for more than 24 to 48 hours despite rest or over-the-counter medication may require additional evaluation.
• Swelling, Bruising, or Limited Mobility: Persistent swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving an injured arm or leg can be signs of a fracture or more serious injury.
• A Visible Deformity or Popping Sensation: If you notice a bone appears out of place or you heard a popping sound when the injury occurred, an X-ray can help determine the extent of the damage.
• Bone Health Concerns or Previous Injuries: Patients with osteoporosis or ongoing pain from a previous injury may benefit from X-rays to identify fractures or conditions that were previously undiagnosed.
• Follow-Up Imaging: Your provider may recommend an X-ray to confirm findings from a physical exam or another imaging study before creating a treatment plan.

What are Digital X-rays?

Digital X-rays use the same proven technology as traditional X-rays but capture images electronically instead of on film. At AFC Urgent Care Beaumont, our advanced digital imaging system produces detailed images within minutes, allowing our providers to diagnose injuries and illnesses quickly and accurately.

Compared to traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays provide sharper image quality, reduced radiation exposure, and faster results. Images can also be securely stored and shared electronically whenever follow-up care is needed.

Benefits of Digital X-rays vs. Traditional X-rays

At our practice, we believe that digital X-rays are the way to go for many reasons. Here are just a few of the benefits of digital X-rays over traditional X-rays:

• Less Radiation Exposure: Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays, which is important for patient safety.
• Clearer and Sharper Images: Digital X-rays produce clearer and sharper images, which can lead to quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
• Quicker Turnaround: Digital X-rays can be processed and stored much faster than traditional X-rays, leading to a quicker turnaround time.
• Portability and Record Keeping: Digital X-rays can be easily stored and accessed, making them much more portable and easier to keep records of.

Less Radiation Exposure

At AFC Urgent Care Beaumont, we understand that radiation exposure is a common concern when it comes to getting an X-ray. we use digital X-ray machines that produce up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-ray machines. This means you get a quick, accurate diagnosis with significantly reduced radiation exposure. We may also ask you to wear lead aprons to further reduce your radiation exposure. So you can rest assured knowing you’re getting the best care with the lowest radiation levels.

Clearer and Sharper Images

When it comes to diagnosing health issues, having a clear image is critical. That’s why digital X-rays are so popular. Digital X-ray technology produces far sharper images than traditional X-rays because digital sensors assist in creating higher-resolution pictures.

These images can also be easily magnified without any loss in quality. This means doctors can zoom in to see the details they need to make an accurate diagnosis.

Quicker Turnaround

Digital X-rays are ready instantly, so there’s no need to wait for processing like traditional film-based X-rays. This means you can get an accurate diagnosis faster, and start treatment sooner.

Portability and Record-Keeping

Digital X-rays offer numerous advantages over traditional film-based X-rays, especially in terms of portability and record keeping. Digital X-rays are easily stored, shared and retrieved. This means you can quickly share them with different doctors for evaluation after your visit. This is much faster and easier than with film-based X-rays. Additionally, digital X-rays provide an accurate, detailed record of your health over time. This helps your doctor spot any changes in your health quickly and more accurately.
