What is an X-ray?

An X-ray is an imaging technique that is used to identify abnormalities from outside the body, such as broken bones, fractures or shadows on the lungs. X-rays use low amounts of radiation, so the risk to your health is small.

Find your nearest BMI Hospital offering x-ray scans.

What happens during an X-ray?

Depending on what type of X-ray you’re having it should take approximately 15-30 minutes and is carried out by a radiographer.

You’ll be asked to lay down on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed is between the X-ray source and a drawer containing film. Your body is exposed to X-rays for a fraction of a second; the X-rays hit the film, which is then developed.

If you are, or there is a possibility you may be, pregnant or diabetic please tell the radiographer before your appointment.

Results will usually be sent to the doctor who referred you within two days of your X-ray taking place.
