Walk-In X-Ray Services
Accessible and Efficient Imaging
Our walk-in X-ray services are available during clinic hours, providing patients with the convenience of undergoing imaging studies without prior appointments. This service is ideal for:
- Evaluation of musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., fractures, dislocations)
- Assessment of chest conditions (e.g., infections, cardiac enlargement)
- Abdominal imaging for pain or obstruction
- Follow-up studies for chronic conditions
Our digital radiography system ensures rapid image acquisition and processing, with reports reviewed by experienced radiologists and delivered promptly.
Portable Bedside X-Ray Services
Bringing Diagnostic Imaging to Your Location
Understanding the challenges faced by patients with limited mobility, Hetu Clinic offers portable bedside X-ray services. This facility is particularly beneficial for:
- Elderly or bedridden patients
- Post-operative individuals
- Patients with disabilities or severe illnesses
- Situations where transportation to the clinic is impractical or inconvenient
Our trained radiology technicians perform the imaging at the patient’s location using state-of-the-art portable equipment, ensuring safety and comfort. The images are then transmitted securely to our radiologists for interpretation, with reports provided in a timely manner.
