X-ray on the Clinic Premises
An x-ray machine inside the clinic premises. For a basic scan, there is no need to be referred elsewhere and wait until the next day.
Quick answer
The clinic has x-ray facilities on the premises. It is used for basic scans that help the doctor assess cases such as bone injuries, chest pain and a prolonged cough. An x-ray is done only when the doctor judges that it will change the treatment decision, not simply on request, because every scan involves radiation exposure even at a low dose.
When an x-ray is usually useful
An injury after a fall
To assess whether there is a break or a crack, particularly when swelling and pain do not settle.
A prolonged cough
A cough that continues for several weeks, or that comes with fever and weight loss, should be assessed.
Chest pain
As part of the assessment, depending on the overall picture of the case.
Joint or back pain
When the pain continues and does not improve with initial treatment.
Employee health screening
Some employers require a chest x-ray as part of health screening.
A swallowed or lodged object
To assess the location, depending on the type of object and the condition of the patient.
Why x-ray on the premises changes things
When a clinic has no x-ray, a patient who may have a broken bone has to be referred elsewhere, have the scan, then come back with the result. That can take a day.
With the machine on the premises, the doctor can look at the image at the same visit and decide straight away, whether treatment can continue here or the case needs to be referred to hospital.
For work injuries and household accidents at night, this means answers come faster.
About radiation safety
X-ray uses radiation at a low dose. For most people, the risk from one necessary scan is small compared with the benefit of knowing what is going on.
Even so, the principle is simple: a scan is done only when it will change the treatment decision. The doctor will explain the reason before sending you to the x-ray room.
Tell the staff if you are pregnant or may be pregnant before the scan is done. This matters, and do not assume they already know.
What to know before you come
A few practical things.
- If you are coming specifically for an x-ray, send a message first to check availability
- Bring previous x-ray results or images if you have them, for comparison
- Tell the staff if you are pregnant or may be pregnant
- Clothing that is easy to remove makes the process simpler
- Metal items such as chains and belts may need to be removed
- If the x-ray is for an employer or a claim, tell the staff so the documentation can be prepared
Common questions
Can I come in and have an x-ray on my own request?
An x-ray is done based on the doctor assessment. If you have a request letter from another doctor, bring it with you and the staff will check.
Is x-ray available at night?
Availability depends on the staff on duty. Send a message first if you are coming specifically for that.
How long before the result is ready?
The doctor can look at the image at the same visit. For cases that need a radiologist opinion, the doctor will explain the next step.
Can I get a copy of the image?
Tell the staff at registration if you need a copy to take to another doctor or hospital.
Do you have ultrasound as well?
The imaging service listed on this page is x-ray. For other enquiries, contact the clinic.
Can I use my employer panel for an x-ray?
It depends on the terms of your company panel. Check before you come.
