The quick answer is: Yes, we do! X-rays are a great tool to help us diagnose many different types of injuries and illnesses. We can get a better look at fractures and even your internal organs to give us a clear picture into what is causing you pain or discomfort.

At AFC, we utilize the state-of-the-art technology of digital X-rays instead of traditional X-ray technology. While the technology to create the image is similar, digital X-rays have a variety of benefits beyond the scope of their traditional counterpart.

Get all the details about digital X-rays below from our AFC Urgent Care Bronx Webster Avenue team.

Do Digital X-rays Still Produce Images?

Just like traditional X-rays, digital X-rays work by capturing an image that gives us a picture of the inside of your body. The main difference is that instead of it being transferred onto film and then developed, it is uploaded to a computer!

Since it is a digital image rather than a physical film, the resulting picture is instantaneous. No more waiting for the film to develop! In addition, it is a clearer image and can be manipulated without losing the quality of the picture. We can zoom in or focus on a specific area of concern right on the computer.

Digital X-Rays Diagnose What Traditional X-Rays Can

• Fractures
• Kidney stones
• Chest and lung issues like pneumonia
• Abnormal masses or tumors

Will I Still Be Exposed to Radiation With Digital X-Rays?

Even though this digital technology is much more advanced than traditional X-rays, the actual X-ray method is still the same. This means that there is still a minimal amount of radiation exposure. However, it is known to be about 80% less exposure compared to a regular X-ray.

You never need an appointment in order to receive an X-ray at AFC Urgent Care Bronx Webster Avenue. Our team can see you any day of the week, and an X-ray technician is always on staff. We are ready to help you feel better today!
