X-ray of the skull PA/AP + lateral (children up to 18 years old)

Test results

The patient can receive a CD with an X-ray image if they request it before the appointment. The examination report is available on Medicover Online. The patient can also collect the report in paper form at a selected Medical Center—this requires submitting a request at the reception. The report is usually provided within 3-6 business days; however, in cases of a high number of images requiring description, delays in delivering the results may occur.
