Preparation For X-Ray Scans
Preparing for an X-ray scan is straightforward, and you'll receive specific instructions from your chosen scanning centre. In most cases, you can eat, drink, and take medication as usual unless it's a specialist procedure. For example, a barium contrast scan for the digestive tract may involve fasting for several hours before your scan. You may need to change into a hospital gown to prevent metal zips or buttons on your clothing from obstructing the images. Jewellery, belts, and watches will also need to be removed. The scan itself is painless and quick, and you can usually resume your day as normal afterwards.
The Procedure
An X-ray is a quick and painless imaging procedure. It produces 2D images of bones, joints, teeth, and some soft tissues or organs, like the lungs. Because it involves a low dose of ionising radiation, your Scan.com clinician will discuss any potential risks to ensure the scan is safe for you, though the risks are minimal. The X-ray machine usually has a moveable arm for precise positioning. Depending on the scan, you could be asked to sit, lie on a table, or stand against an upright panel with a flat surface, which is common for a chest X-ray. Multiple X-rays from different angles may be taken to capture accurate images.
How Long Does It Take?
X-ray appointments are quick and efficient, typically taking around 15 minutes. This includes the time needed to get changed into a medical gown (if needed), position the body and machinery correctly, and capture clear diagnostic images.
When You Will Receive Results
It can take up to 7-10 working days for your X-Ray scan results to be delivered, but it can vary from clinic to clinic and many are much quicker than this. During this time, a radiologist at the scanning centre writes a report about what the scan has shown, and shares it with our clinical team. We'll then call you to discuss the results and any next steps.
