Yes, Insight Urgent Care offers X-rays services. X-rays are used to capture images of your body’s internal structures, such as your bones, to determine if there are injuries that aren’t visible from outside the body. X-rays are most commonly known for being used to diagnose broken bones as they show not only if a bone is broken, but also the exact location of the break if there are multiple breaks, and the extent of the damage done. When an X-ray is performed on the human body, an X-ray beam is passed through your body. The beams will be absorbed by the materials in your body based on their density, which determines how those materials show up in an X-ray. For example, bone and metal, which are very dense, show up in an X-ray as being white. The muscles and fat in your body show up as various shades of grey and the air found in your lungs will show up as black. In the case of finer detail being required from the X-ray, a contrast medium in the form of barium or iodine can be introduced into the body to provide greater contrast and highlight the area under investigation.
