Urgent Care With X-Ray in Canton, MA

At Acton and Canton Urgent Care, we understand the importance of fast and accurate diagnosis when you’re feeling unwell or have suffered an injury. That’s why we offer on-site X-ray imaging services to help our providers quickly assess and treat a wide range of medical conditions.

Common X-ray Services Available at Urgent Care Clinic:

• Chest X-rays: Our clinics frequently perform chest X-rays to evaluate respiratory conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and other lung or breathing issues. This allows us to provide prompt care and peace of mind when you’re experiencing symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort.

• Extremity X-rays: If you’ve had a fall or injury involving your hands, wrists, arms, feet, ankles, or legs, our extremity X-rays can help identify fractures, sprains, or dislocations. We’re equipped to help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.

• Spine X-rays: Back or neck pain can be concerning, especially after an accident. Acton and Canton Urgent Care offers spine X-rays to investigate pain, check alignment, or rule out injuries.

• Abdominal X-rays: For patients experiencing abdominal pain, our abdominal X-ray services help detect conditions like bowel obstructions or kidney stones, enabling our providers to deliver timely and appropriate care.

If your condition requires more specialized imaging—such as dental or advanced neurological X-rays—we will coordinate a referral to a local hospital or imaging center with the appropriate capabilities.

If you’re considering visiting urgent care and are wondering whether you need a referral to get an X-ray, we’re here to help clarify the process. At both our Acton and Canton locations, you do not need a referral to receive an X-ray. You can walk in at your convenience, and our experienced medical team will evaluate your condition. If an X-ray is necessary for diagnosis or treatment, we can perform it during your visit.

Most health insurance plans do not require a referral for X-rays at urgent care centers like ours. However, if you have a specific insurance plan—such as an HMO—it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether they require a referral from your primary care physician for imaging services.

Our priority is making access to care as simple and seamless as possible. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage, feel free to contact us directly or check with your insurance company before your visit.

At Acton and Canton Urgent Care, we understand that your time is valuable, especially when you’re not feeling your best. That’s why our X-ray procedures are designed to be quick and efficient. Typically, the actual process of taking an X-ray image at our facilities takes only a few seconds to a couple of minutes. However, your overall appointment—including preparation, positioning, and any necessary paperwork—may last between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being examined and the number of images required.

For most routine X-rays, such as those of the chest, arms, or legs, our experienced technologists will guide you to position yourself correctly, either standing against a plate or lying on a table. You may be asked to hold your breath or remain very still to ensure the clearest images. If multiple views are needed, the process may take a few extra minutes. After the images are captured, our team will quickly review them to make sure they meet the doctor’s requirements.

Urgent care is fully equipped to handle a wide range of non-life-threatening medical issues, including injuries and illnesses that may require diagnostic imaging. Our x-ray services allow us to provide prompt and accurate assessments for conditions such as possible fractures, sprains, or respiratory concerns like suspected pneumonia.

When you visit urgent care with a concern that may require an X-ray, our experienced clinical team—comprised of board-certified physicians and physician assistants—can perform the imaging right here during your visit. In most cases, you’ll receive a preliminary interpretation of your X-ray results the same day, often within a short period, while you are still at our clinic. Our providers will review the images with you and discuss their findings, so you leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

Depending on your specific case, there are times when your X-rays may be reviewed by a radiologist, a specialist in interpreting imaging studies. If a more detailed or specialized review is required, or if the findings are unclear, we may send the images to an offsite radiologist. This process typically takes only a few hours, and we will follow up with you promptly if additional information or care is needed.
