X-Ray

X-Ray Radiology

At Vitality Urgent Care in Buffalo Grove, our digital X-ray technology delivers fast, accurate results for a variety of body parts including the chest, spine, skull, and extremities like arms and legs. This technology works by using sensors to capture images of the body’s internal structure, instantly converting them into digital pictures. This method produces clearer images for better diagnosis, reduces radiation exposure, and allows many conditions to be identified in real-time. Our experienced providers can offer immediate care, including splinting, based on these rapid diagnoses.

Preparing for Your X-Ray:

No special preparation is typically needed. Wear comfortable clothing, and expect to change into a hospital gown if necessary.

Special Guidance for Children:

• Reassure your child by explaining the process in simple terms, emphasizing its painless nature.
• Use children’s books like “Jessica’s X-Ray” or “Curious George Goes to the Hospital” for preparation.
• Encourage understanding through interactive play with toy X-ray machines or role-playing with stuffed animals.

Safety and Comfort During X-Rays:

While X-rays are generally comfortable, some positions might cause slight discomfort in case of injuries. The minimal radiation used in digital X-rays is safe for adults. Please let us know if you are pregnant.

Receiving Your Results:

Results are often available on the same day, though they can sometimes take longer. Based on the findings, additional tests may be required.

X-Ray Urgent Care Cost vs. Emergency Room

When faced with the need for an X-ray, whether due to a sports injury or a sudden health concern, understanding your options can save you both time and money. X-rays are a critical tool in modern medicine, offering a glimpse beneath the skin to diagnose fractures, infections, and other conditions. With advancements in technology, particularly digital X-rays, Vitality Urgent Care has made the process more efficient and cost-effective than ever. Let’s break down why choosing Vitality Urgent Care for your X-ray needs is a smart, budget-friendly decision.

What Are X-Rays Used For?

X-rays can image almost any part of the body, including bones, teeth, and chest, to diagnose various conditions. Digital X-rays, which are used at Vitality Urgent Care, offer a clearer image and faster results than traditional X-rays, enhancing the accuracy and speed of diagnosis.

• Upper Extremities: This includes fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, humerus, and radius. Whether it’s a sports injury, a fall, or chronic pain, our X-rays can pinpoint the issue accurately.
• Lower Extremities: We cover toes, foot, ankle, leg, knee, tibia, and femur. From sprains and fractures to more complex conditions, our team is equipped to provide the diagnostics needed for effective treatment.
• Chest/Lungs: Vital for diagnosing respiratory issues, infections, or injuries, our chest and lung X-rays provide crucial insights into your pulmonary health.
• Spine: Including cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions, our spinal X-rays can help diagnose issues related to back pain, injuries, or degenerative conditions, facilitating targeted treatment plans.
• Skull: We also offer X-rays for the head or nose, crucial for assessing injuries or conditions affecting the skull and facial structure.

What is the pricing for X-Ray

Location of Service: X-rays at Vitality Urgent Care are significantly less expensive than those performed in an Emergency Room (ER). Most X-rays (up to 2 views) are available as add-ons to office visits priced at $60, making this critical diagnostic tool both accessible and affordable. This pricing model ensures that the additional cost of an X-ray does not become a barrier to receiving the care you need.

Seamless Integration of Care

When you visit Vitality Urgent Care for a medical concern, the ability to add an X-ray to your office visit streamlines your care process. This integration means you can receive a comprehensive evaluation and necessary diagnostics under one roof, without the need for multiple appointments or locations. Our digital X-ray technology enhances this experience, offering quick and clear images that aid in accurate diagnoses.

The Advantage of Digital X-Rays at Vitality

Choosing to have your X-ray as an add-on to your office visit at Vitality Urgent Care not only saves you money but also capitalizes on the benefits of digital X-ray technology. Digital X-rays offer several advantages over traditional film X-rays, including:

• Faster Results: Digital images are available almost immediately, allowing for quicker diagnoses and treatment plans.
• Better Quality Images: Enhanced image quality helps in making more accurate diagnoses.
• Cost Savings: The efficiency and reduced material use of digital X-rays contribute to their affordability.
