Can I Walk In for a Digital X-Ray?

• Yes. Walk-in Digital X-Ray services are available at MedUS Clinic Hutan Melintang, subject to service availability and clinical requirements.
• If you are unsure which X-ray you require, our doctor can assess your symptoms or injury and advise whether an X-ray is appropriate and which area should be examined.

Is Digital X-Ray Safe?

• X-rays use ionising radiation, so they are performed when clinically appropriate and with attention to radiation safety.
• The amount of radiation depends on the type of X-ray examination performed.
• Always inform our healthcare team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant before undergoing an X-ray.

How Long Does a Digital X-Ray Take?

• Most routine Digital X-Ray examinations can be completed relatively quickly.
• The total time required may vary depending on the body part being examined, number of X-ray views required, patient condition and whether a doctor consultation or radiologist report is required.

Do I Need a Doctor Consultation Before an X-Ray?

• This depends on the reason for the X-ray.
• For symptoms or injuries, a doctor may assess you first to determine whether an X-ray is appropriate and which examination or X-ray views are required.
• Patients attending with a referral letter or specific medical check-up requirement should bring the relevant documents for our team to review.

Can Digital X-Rays Detect Lung Diseases?

• A Chest X-Ray can help doctors identify certain abnormalities involving the lungs and chest, including findings that may be associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), some lung infections and other chest conditions.
• However, a chest X-ray cannot detect every lung condition. Depending on your symptoms, examination and X-ray findings, further investigations may sometimes be required.

Can an X-Ray Detect a Broken Bone or Fracture?

• Yes. X-rays are commonly used to assess a suspected broken bone or fracture following a fall, accident, sports injury or other trauma.
• Depending on the injury, additional imaging or specialist assessment may sometimes be required even if the initial X-ray does not show an obvious fracture.

Should I Get an X-Ray After a Fall or Accident?

• Not every fall or accident requires an X-ray.
• However, if you have significant pain, swelling, difficulty moving a joint, difficulty walking, reduced function, deformity or persistent symptoms, medical assessment is recommended.
• A doctor can examine the affected area and determine whether a Digital X-Ray or another investigation is appropriate.

Can I Get an X-Ray for Knee, Shoulder, Wrist or Ankle Pain?

• Yes. Depending on your symptoms and clinical assessment, an X-ray may be useful when investigating knee pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, ankle pain or injuries involving these joints.
• The doctor will assess your symptoms and determine whether an X-ray is appropriate.

Can I Get an X-Ray for Neck or Back Pain?

• Depending on your symptoms, medical history and examination findings, an X-ray may sometimes be useful when assessing neck pain, back pain or suspected spine-related conditions.
• However, not every case of neck or back pain requires an X-ray. A doctor can assess your symptoms and determine whether imaging is appropriate.

Do You Provide X-Ray for Medical Check-Ups?

• Yes. Chest X-Ray may be available for selected medical check-ups, employment health screening, corporate medical screening and occupational health assessments, depending on the requirements of the examination.
• Please bring any relevant medical forms or employer documents with you.
