x-rays
Before any medical professional can provide treatment for an illness or injury, the first thing we need to be able to do is diagnose the concern. X-rays are an invaluable device in the diagnostic process as they allow us to take a look at what is going on just beneath the skin. If you think you have suffered an injury, our team at MedForce Mobile will utilize our X-ray equipment to diagnose the situation and get you the treatment you need.
what is an x-ray?
An X-ray device uses electromagnetic waves to penetrate through skin, muscles, ligaments, and other tissue to generate images of your bones. These waves travel through the body at different rates depending on the tissue density they must traverse. Once the waves go through your body, a detector captures the waves, at which point we can generate an image based on the rate at which the waves arrive.
when are x-rays necessary?
You might need an X-ray if you have suffered an injury or illness that causes difficulty moving a limb or have experienced pain while trying to move a part of your body. If you have sustained limits to your normal mobility, you should visit an urgent care center for an X-ray.
