Minor Emergency of Denton is fully equipped to provide pediatric X-ray services for your child’s urgent medical needs. Our facility features advanced imaging equipment and our skilled medical professionals are experienced in handling a wide range of pediatric injuries, including fractures, sprains, and other musculoskeletal conditions. We prioritize comfort and safety, ensuring our younger patients receive gentle and compassionate care tailored specifically to their needs.
While we handle most pediatric X-rays onsite, certain complex or specialized cases may require referral to a hospital or pediatric imaging specialist. If you’re unsure whether your child’s injury can be fully evaluated at our facility, we recommend calling Minor Emergency of Denton ahead of your visit. Our friendly staff will gladly answer any questions and confirm our capabilities to provide your child with prompt and effective care. In situations requiring specialized imaging or more extensive evaluation, our providers will facilitate a smooth transfer or referral to a suitable pediatric specialty center or hospital to ensure comprehensive and timely treatment.
At Minor Emergency of Denton, our convenient on-site X-ray services ensure you receive fast, accurate diagnoses for a variety of medical concerns. When you arrive, our friendly medical staff will quickly check you in, asking about your symptoms, medical history, and any prior imaging you’ve had. For your safety, we may also inquire about pregnancy status due to the use of radiation during X-ray procedures.
We will then guide you to our comfortable imaging area, where you might be asked to change into a gown or remove jewelry, glasses, or other metallic items to ensure clear X-ray results. Our skilled radiologic technologist will carefully position you to capture precise images of the affected area, whether this involves standing, sitting, or lying down. At times, you may be asked to briefly hold your breath to prevent any movement during imaging.
During the quick, painless X-ray process, our technologist will step behind a protective barrier momentarily while capturing the images. Each X-ray typically takes just seconds, and our technologist will promptly review your images right away to ensure optimal clarity.
Immediately afterward, one of our experienced medical providers will evaluate your results, clearly explain their significance, and recommend any treatment or follow-up care necessary. The entire visit—from arrival to receiving your results—usually takes under 30 minutes, allowing you to quickly return to your day with confidence and peace of mind.
Minor Emergency of Denton utilizes X-ray imaging as an essential diagnostic tool to promptly evaluate and treat patients experiencing urgent medical concerns, such as bone fractures, dislocations, sprains, infections, or respiratory conditions like pneumonia. When abnormalities are identified through X-ray imaging, our experienced medical providers immediately assess the severity of the patient’s condition. If the condition is manageable within our clinic, such as simple fractures, minor dislocations, sprains, or mild infections, our team will provide immediate, on-site treatment, including splinting, immobilization, wound care, medication prescriptions, and clear instructions for follow-up care.
In cases where the X-ray reveals more severe or complex medical issues requiring specialized care, advanced intervention, or hospitalization, such as severe fractures, internal injuries, extensive infections, or significant respiratory complications, Minor Emergency of Denton will swiftly coordinate prompt transfer to the appropriate emergency department or specialized medical facility.
At Minor Emergency of Denton, we strive to provide efficient, accessible, and high-quality urgent care services, carefully determining the most appropriate level of medical intervention based on each patient’s clinical condition, identified through timely X-ray diagnostics.
X-rays performed in our urgent care practice are especially helpful in quickly identifying issues related to bones, such as fractures, dislocations, or other skeletal abnormalities. Because X-rays primarily capture clear images of dense structures, they are ideally suited for rapid diagnosis of bone injuries, allowing our providers to promptly determine the appropriate treatment plan.
However, standard X-rays typically do not clearly show injuries to soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. These tissues have lower density and thus do not appear distinctly on X-ray images, making it challenging to identify soft tissue injuries directly.
Still, our experienced providers can often detect indirect signs of soft tissue injuries through X-ray imaging. For example, subtle indicators such as joint misalignment or abnormal spacing between bones may suggest damage to ligaments or tendons. When a soft tissue injury is suspected but not visible on standard X-rays, we may recommend additional diagnostic imaging such as an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or ultrasound. In these cases, our team can facilitate timely referrals to specialists or imaging centers in Denton for further evaluation, ensuring you receive comprehensive care for your injury.
At Minor Emergency of Denton, our goal is to quickly and accurately diagnose your injury and guide you toward the most appropriate treatment, whether it involves immediate care at our facility or coordination with specialists in our trusted network.
