Imaging Center

Urgent 9 is one clinic within a limited pool of family medical practices in southern California that hosts its own imaging center, comprised of the latest advancements in low radiation technology. Thanks to this immediate access to crucial examinations, such as CT, X-ray, and Ultrasound, our physicians are able to provide urgent care at an affordable and accelerated pace. These examinations alone provide for innovative, accurate diagnosis of a number of conditions, from skeletal to soft tissue systems of the body.

X-ray Examinations

An X-ray is the most simplistic of imaging procedures, but its uses are no less instrumental to assessing damage sustained below the skin. X-ray is capable of creating high-quality photographs of bone structures, as well as other dense objects, to illustrate possible fractures, dislocations, and abnormal growths. X-rays can even identify the degeneration of bone tissue, such as in the case of osteoporosis.

Computed Tomography (CT) Examinations

CT scans combine the radiative expertise of X-rays with cross-sectional technology, which allows physicians to view imagery of bone and soft tissues within the same photographic frame. CT machinery is able to starkly map the cardiovascular system, provide three-dimensional diagrams of organs, and pinpoint the location of possible abnormalities at any level of the body. Radiologists use CT scans to detect internal bleeding or fractures following physical trauma; locate infections, blood clots, and tumors; and monitor progressive diseases, such as cancer.

Ultrasound Examinations

With its lucrative usage of projected sound waves to capture live imagery feedback, Ultrasound is best known for its ability to monitor progress during pregnancy. Since the procedure uses no radiation whatsoever, it is considered to be the safest method for observing a fetus in the womb. However, An ultrasound’s potential expands well beyond this implementation. All imagery is recorded in real time, allowing professionals to observe the movement and rate of blood flow through vital organs, such as the heart and kidneys. During surgical procedures, ultrasound is often used as a means of providing a reliable visual guide for doctors.

In addition to providing for a comprehensive imaging center in Glendale CA, Urgent 9 guarantees swift medical attention and invites both walk-in visits and telephone consultations with healthcare professionals.
