Chest X-rays
Used to evaluate the lungs and heart, a chest X-ray can help diagnose conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, and other respiratory issues, providing a clear picture of your chest cavity.
At PrimeHealth Primary Care, we provide essential X-ray services as a critical tool for accurate diagnosis. X-rays are a non-invasive imaging technique that allows our X-ray doctor to visualize internal structures, primarily bones, to identify injuries, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions. The importance of X-rays for accurate diagnosis cannot be overstated; they provide immediate insights that are vital for conditions ranging from fractures to respiratory issues. Our on-site capabilities mean you can get the imaging you need quickly and conveniently, without having to search for a separate X-ray lab.
