Most people come to urgent care centers with issues requiring immediate medical attention, including severe abdominal pain, fractures, swollen joints, persistent cough, and more. These conditions often require X-rays, and in such circumstances, you might be thinking about whether urgent care centers offer X-rays or if you need to go to an ER. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait hours for the ER. At Metro Urgent Care, we offer on-site X-ray services for non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, including sports injuries.
What Is an X-Ray?
An X-ray is an imaging test that produces pictures of your body’s internal organs to help monitor, diagnose, or treat medical issues. X-ray beams (electromagnetic radiation) pass through your body and are absorbed in different quantities depending on the density of the organs/body parts they travel through. For example, dense parts, such as bone, show up as white on X-rays. The air in your lungs appears black while muscles and fat show up as gray shades.
While traditional X-rays produce images on film, digital X-ray images are captured on digital X-ray sensors that can be immediately processed by a computer, so the results are instantaneous. Also, digital X-rays help to digitally transfer and improvise the images for better clarity and precision.
Digital X-rays eliminate wait times for results, thus enabling prompt treatment.
Signs You May Need an X-Ray
Difficulty Moving a Limb or Walking
An injured leg, ankle, or foot may cause difficulty walking, and an X-ray will tell you whether you have a fracture or sprain.
Trouble Breathing
Pneumonia or lung cancer may cause trouble breathing, and a thorax X-ray will show changes (such as sputum or fluid-filled air sacs) that affect your breathing.
Persistent Pain/Swelling
An X-ray can reveal whether a bone fracture, soft tissue damage, or fluid around a joint is causing the swelling or pain.
Digestive Problems
An X-ray, coupled with a barium swallow will detect the root cause of your digestive problems, including the swallowed non-edible items, such as keys, dice, etc.
Joint Pain/Stiffness
An X-ray will detect whether arthritis or fluid accumulation following a joint injury is causing you joint pain/stiffness.

X ray uses ionizing radiation to create images of the skeletal system.
Conventional X ray images are produced when radiation is passed through a body part and measured by a detector on the other side of the patient.
