24/7 Rapid Imaging & Interpretation
When time is critical, Priority ER Care delivers immediate on-site imaging. Our board-certified emergency physicians order and interpret CT scans, digital X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and advanced modalities around the clock—so you get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan without delay.
When to Choose ER vs. Outpatient Imaging
Go to Priority ER Care for imaging when you have:
- Suspected stroke or head trauma (sudden weakness, confusion, loss of consciousness)
- Severe chest pain or shortness of breath requiring chest X-ray or CT angiography
- Acute abdominal pain or trauma (suspected internal bleeding, organ injury)
- Unexplained neurological symptoms (dizziness, vision changes, seizures)
- High-risk fractures needing CT or MRI evaluation
- Signs of deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (leg swelling, sudden chest pain)
Schedule outpatient imaging when you have:
- Routine screening (mammogram, DEXA) or non-urgent follow-ups
- Stable, chronic conditions requiring periodic monitoring
- Minor musculoskeletal pain without red-flag signs
- Elective MRI for back pain or soft-tissue evaluation
- Ultrasound for non-acute gynecologic or vascular assessments
If you’re ever uncertain—especially with severe pain or neurological symptoms—Priority ER Care provides 24/7 diagnostic imaging and immediate interpretation.
