X-Ray

An X-ray, or radiograph, is a quick and painless diagnostic imaging test that uses a small dose of radiation to create images of the inside of your body. This widely used procedure is often one of the first steps in diagnosing a variety of health conditions by allowing clinicians to see through soft tissues to focus on denser structures like bones.

Being nervous for any medical scan is completely normal.

Actual scan times depend on two things; the number of studies and type of studies. Typically, single areas such as a foot or shoulder, can take between 5 and 15 minutes to complete. More accurate estimates will be given to you by a radiographer right before your scan.

When your scan is complete, you will not be required to wait. Your images will then be reported on by one of our Radiologist consultants and then the report will be sent to your referrer, and we aim for this to be done within 48 hours.

The images from your scan can be made available to you through our dedicated Patient Portal. This is an easy to set up Portal that will give you access to images from all previous and any future scans you may have. These images are downloadable and can be shared with whomever you choose. The set-up process can be facilitated by a member of reception after your scan, or a member pf our private admin team, upon request.

If you require a copy of the Radiologist’s report of those images, you’ll have to obtain this from the referrer or from us if we have been given permission by your referrer to share the report with you. More details on how and why will be explained further to you if needed.

All fees are built into the fixed price per view/area, there are no hidden costs. For example, a single view (chest x-ray), will cost £100. This is the total cost to you for the scan, report and image access (through Patient Portal) only.

*Please note; any costs incurred with your referrer is separate and does not involve the cost of your scan (for example, consultation and follow up fees).
