Diagnostic Labs & Imaging
Fast answers, right here on-site.
A fast, accurate diagnosis is the first step toward the right treatment. That's why Beaufort Memorial Emergency & Urgent Care will keep labs and imaging on-site, allowing our providers to quickly evaluate your symptoms and begin treatment without unnecessary delay.
From a nagging cough to a sudden injury, our team will use the tools available right here to find answers and guide your care forward.
Labs
Our on-site lab will run a range of tests with quick turnaround, so your provider will have the information needed to make a confident diagnosis during your visit.
Tests we commonly perform include:
- Blood work
- Urinalysis
- Rapid tests for common illnesses
- Glucose testing
- Pregnancy testing
- Other routine diagnostic labs
Keeping this work in-house means you get answers — and treatment — without sending you anywhere else.
CT Scans
A CT scan uses advanced X-ray technology to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the body, giving our providers a clearer look than a standard X-ray alone. It's a valuable tool for spotting fractures, internal injuries, infections and inflammation, and for evaluating internal bleeding after trauma. With this level of detail, our team will be able to make faster, more confident decisions about your care.
EKG
An electrocardiogram (EKG) measures your heart's electrical activity and is often used when someone comes in with chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or an irregular heartbeat. It's quick, painless and gives our providers valuable insight into your heart health, helping guide the right next steps.
Ultrasound
It's a safe, non-invasive way for our providers to evaluate a range of conditions, including:
- Abdominal pain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Internal conditions
- Blood flow through vessels
- Kidney or urinary concerns
X-Ray
X-rays remain one of the fastest ways to diagnose an injury or condition, and our on-site imaging will mean you won't wait long for results. X-rays will help our team identify:
- Broken bones and fractures
- Joint injuries
- Chest conditions, such as pneumonia
- Certain internal and abdominal concerns
COVID-19 Testing
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can range from mild, cold-like symptoms to more serious complications. If you're not feeling well, testing and early evaluation can help our providers determine the best course of care — and help protect the people around you.
