Suitability is assessed case by case. A medical facility may be a safer option for some examinations or patients
Preparation and coordination
A suitable position and safe working space are required. Tell the team about pregnancy or possible pregnancy before X-ray exposure
We will confirm whether the examination is suitable for a home visit before booking
The reporting and delivery process will be explained during coordination
Chest and bone X-rays at home
Before a home X-ray, our coordination team confirms the body region, the views requested by the clinician and whether one or more regions require imaging. Feasible positioning depends on the patient and home setting.
Timing and the quote are confirmed against the examination and location. Home X-ray cannot replace urgent hospital assessment when it is needed.
A common question
Can every X-ray be performed at home?
No. Certain views and clinical situations require a radiology facility. Home suitability must be confirmed before scheduling
Useful answers before arranging a visit
Is a portable X-ray the same as a hospital or imaging-centre X-ray?
Portable digital X-ray can produce diagnostically useful images for appropriate examinations. Image quality depends on the required views, patient positioning, acquisition technique and interpretation; some examinations or situations need a medical facility.
Can a patient who cannot move have a chest or pelvic X-ray at home?
The team needs the clinical request, body region and required views, together with the patient’s condition and available space, to assess feasibility. Some injuries and acute symptoms require urgent hospital assessment.
