Before your appointment
Bring the referral identifying the area and reason for imaging. Tell the radiographer if pregnancy is possible.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- NHS example: the images themselves take a few minutes.
- Hospital stay
- Usually outpatient, without an overnight stay for the test itself. Preparation or additional tests may extend attendance.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan one attendance for the test and a results discussion. The referral assessment and any repeat or additional tests may require separate visits; ask whether results can be discussed remotely.
- Recovery and travel planning
- A plain X-ray usually has no specific recovery period. Results still need clinical interpretation and may lead to other tests.
