X-ray should not be performed in pregnant women. However, if it is necessary, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the maximum protection of the pregnant patient.

Every X-ray in women of childbearing age should be performed in the first 12 days of the cycle (unless the doctor decides otherwise) in order to exclude the risk of complications in the case of a possible pregnancy.

Arrive 15 minutes before your visit.

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.
