An X-ray scan is a medical imaging procedure that uses low levels of radiation to create images of the inside of the body, helping diagnose various medical conditions.
X-ray scans are commonly used to visualise bones, joints, and certain organs, aiding in diagnosing fractures, infections, lung conditions, and more.
In most cases, no special preparation is needed for an X-ray. You might need to remove jewellery, clothing with metal fasteners, and inform the technologist if you’re pregnant.
The actual exposure takes only a fraction of a second. The overall duration depends on the complexity of the images needed and the number of angles being taken.
X-rays involve a small amount of radiation, but the exposure is generally considered safe and well within acceptable limits. The benefits of obtaining diagnostic information usually outweigh the minimal risks.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s important to inform the healthcare provider or technologist before the scan. In some cases, alternative imaging methods might be recommended to minimise radiation exposure.
Yes, you can usually eat and drink normally before an X-ray, unless your specific instructions state otherwise.
To get an X-Ray appointment you will require a referral from a doctor. You can not book an appointment for a private x-ray by self referral.
If you do not have GP referral, our team can arrange for you to see one of our Private GPs who will be able to assess and issue you with a referral if required.
Head over to our self-referral page to book your X-ray at our private health clinic in Orpington, Kent.
