Imaging Tests are Painless
Although some imaging tests require the patient to remain still during the testing procedure, and some may be uncomfortable to endure, all imaging services are painless. There really is no better way for your physician to understand what’s going on inside your body than to look inside of it.
Having Chest Pains? A Chest X-Ray Can Reveal the Cause
If you’ve been experiencing chest pains and wonder if it’s a cardiology concern, a chest x-ray may yield the answer. When used in conjunction with blood tests and electrocardiograms, a chest x-ray will reveal whether or not you are experiencing the symptoms of a heart or lung condition.
X-Rays are Sometimes Used to Monitor Your Progress After Surgery
Another use of medical imaging is to monitor your progress after surgery since the image allows the doctor to see whether or not implanted devices have remained where they need to be or to assure that you’re not experiencing complications from the procedure such as fluid build-up.
Bone Trauma: One of the Most Common Reasons Patients Visit Medco ER & Urgent Care
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or you’ve been involved in a car accident or some other form of trauma, one of the most common conditions we see at Medco ER & Urgent Care is broken bones. Medical imaging is the only reliable way to properly diagnose potential fractures to determine the most appropriate approach to treatment. Fortunately, we have a state-of-the-art imaging department that is staffed by board-certified radiologists and physicians that are trained to diagnose and treat any type of musculoskeletal trauma to the human body. Whether it’s a broken wrist from flag football or a sprained ankle from jogging on an uneven path, you can rest assured that you’ll receive the diagnosis and treatment you need at Medco ER & Urgent Care in Plano and Frisco.
