These low radiation digital x-rays are an excellent option when you need results quickly or when you need to share them with other medical providers, such as your primary doctor, orthopedic surgeon or another specialist.

Some of the many benefits of digital x-rays include:
Digital X‑rays provide immediate images, clearer and adjustable details, reduced radiation exposure, no chemical processing, and efficient storage and sharing of images.
Usually, an urgent care provider will evaluate you and decide whether an X‑ray is needed. The provider orders the X‑ray as part of your evaluation.
At 8‑2-8 Urgent Care, you can request an X‑ray as part of a self-pay visit if you don’t have insurance.
Digital X‑rays use highly sensitive detectors, which allow for much lower radiation exposure compared to traditional film X‑rays.
There’s no strict “number” that applies to everyone, safety depends on the type of X‑ray, area being imaged, and how often it’s medically justified. Your provider will only order them when needed.
To minimize cost: ask for a self-pay price at urgent care, choose facilities with on-site digital X-ray, or look for community health clinics that offer lower rates.
A digital X‑ray reveals internal structures like bones, joints, soft tissue, helping diagnose fractures, infections, lung issues, and other internal problems in real time.
