For Patients

Q: What should I expect during a mobile X-ray appointment?
A: Whether your X-ray is at home or at the GP practice, our mobile X-ray service comes fully equipped. We use a portable X-ray machine to take the required images.
During your X-ray appointment, a radiographer will position you correctly and ask you to remain still while the X-ray is taken. The process is quick and painless. You may be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds during the X-ray to ensure clear images.
Q: Can you provide guidance on preparing patients for mobile X-ray examinations?
A: Yes, Modia Health offers comprehensive guidance to help patients prepare for their mobile X-ray examinations. Depending on the type of X-ray, preparation may vary. Common preparation steps include:
  • Removing Metal Objects: Patients may be asked to remove jewellery, eyeglasses, or any metal accessories from the area being X-rayed.
  • Clothing Adjustments: In some cases, patients might need to change into a gown to ensure clear imaging without interference from clothing.
  • Informing About Pregnancy: If there is a possibility of pregnancy, patients should inform the radiographer before the procedure.
  • Fasting Requirements: For certain abdominal X-rays, patients might need to avoid eating or drinking for a specified period before the scan. Our team will provide specific instructions based on the scheduled examination to ensure optimal results and a smooth procedure. Patients are encouraged to reach out to us with any questions or concerns prior to their appointment.
    Q: How do I know if I need to stop any medications before my procedure?
    A: Most radiology procedures do not require stopping medications. If you do need to stop any medications, a staff member will inform you when making your appointment. For more information, visit the specific examination page on our website, or contact our reception for assistance.
