Why Emergency On-Site Imaging Matters?
When seconds count, having on-site imaging can save lives. At our Lake Jackson ER, we provide 24/7 access to CT scans, ultrasounds, and X-rays to help identify internal injuries and guide timely treatment. You should seek emergency imaging if you experience:
- Sudden chest pain or shortness of breath - possible heart attack or blood clot
- Severe abdominal pain - may indicate appendicitis, gallstones, or bowel obstruction
- Headache, dizziness, or vision changes - possible stroke or brain injury
- Traumatic injuries - to detect fractures, organ damage, or internal bleeding
- Swelling or pain in the legs - possible deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Suspected broken bones or dislocations - immediate imaging to confirm and treat
Imaging Services and Diagnostic Approach
At our ER in Lake Jackson, we offer a range of imaging tools that assist physicians in evaluating medical conditions:
- X-Rays
Commonly used to check for possible bone injuries, chest concerns, or foreign objects.
- CT Scans
Provide detailed cross-sectional images that help in assessing trauma, internal bleeding, or neurological concerns.
- Ultrasounds
A non-invasive method often used to examine soft tissue, vascular health, or pregnancy-related issues.
Our physicians don’t rely on imaging alone—they combine it with a thorough clinical evaluation to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms. This process may involve:

Treatment Options After Imaging
CT, ultrasound, and X-ray are valuable tools that help physicians identify possible internal injuries and determine the best next steps for your care. Once imaging results are reviewed, treatment may involve:
Depending on the findings, medications may be recommended—such as antibiotics for infections, blood thinners for clot management, or pain relievers to support comfort.
In certain situations, surgery may be considered, such as for appendicitis, gallbladder conditions, or traumatic injuries that require immediate attention.
If a clot is identified, emergency interventions may be initiated, which could involve anticoagulants or procedures designed to help dissolve or remove the clot.
Supportive measures, such as IV fluids for hydration, oxygen therapy for breathing support, and ongoing monitoring, may be used to help stabilize your condition.
When further care or long-term management is needed, patients may be referred to appropriate specialists for continued treatment beyond the ER visit.
Why Choose an ER Over Urgent Care?
Urgent care centers may handle minor cases with basic X-rays, but they often lack advanced imaging like CT scans and the emergency expertise needed for critical situations. If your condition is more serious than expected, you’ll likely be transferred to an ER, wasting valuable time. At our Lake Jackson ER, you have immediate access to comprehensive imaging—X-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans—backed by emergency-trained physicians available 24/7, ensuring fast, accurate results and treatment without delays.
