At KidzNow Urgent Care, we understand that quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial when your child is injured or in pain. That’s why we’ve equipped our San Antonio facility with advanced digital X-ray technology specifically designed for pediatric patients.

State-of-the-Art Pediatric X-ray Capabilities

Our on-site X-ray services allow us to quickly assess various conditions, from potential fractures to respiratory issues, without needing to refer you to an outside imaging center. This means faster diagnosis, quicker treatment, and less stress for both you and your child.

Our digital X-ray system offers several advantages:

  • Lower radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays
  • High-quality images for accurate diagnosis
  • Immediate image availability for our pediatric specialists to review
  • Easy sharing with other healthcare providers if needed

With KidzNow’s X-ray capabilities, we can provide comprehensive care for your child in one convenient location.

Common Reasons for Pediatric X-rays

At KidzNow Urgent Care, we use X-rays to diagnose a variety of conditions in children and adolescents. Some common reasons we might recommend an X-ray include:

  • Suspected bone fractures or breaks
  • Sprains and strains to rule out more serious injuries
  • Persistent cough or difficulty breathing to check for pneumonia
  • Ingestion of foreign objects
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Unexplained bone pain or swelling

Our board-certified pediatricians are experienced in interpreting pediatric X-rays, ensuring that your child receives an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

We always follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) when it comes to radiation exposure, meaning we only use X-rays when the benefits clearly outweigh the minimal risks.

The KidzNow X-ray Experience

We understand that the prospect of getting an X-ray can be scary for children. At KidzNow Urgent Care, we’ve designed our X-ray process to be as child-friendly as possible:

  • Quick and efficient: Our digital system means the actual X-ray takes just moments.
  • Child-centered approach: Our technicians are trained to work with children, explaining the process in age-appropriate terms and helping them feel at ease.
  • Comfort measures: We offer distraction techniques and allow parents to stay with their child during the X-ray when possible.
  • Immediate results: In most cases, our pediatricians can review and discuss the X-ray results with you during the same visit.
  • Follow-up care: If the X-ray reveals a condition requiring further treatment, we can often provide referrals to specialists as needed.

Remember, our X-ray services are just one part of our comprehensive urgent care offerings. From diagnosis to treatment, KidzNow is here to provide expert pediatric care when your child needs it most.
