Chest X-Ray Examination Notice
- Online booking and purchase are required.
- A chest X-ray report reflects your physical condition only at the exact time of imaging. If you experience persistent dry cough, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), or chest pain, you should consult a doctor regarding whether a further chest CT scan is needed to rule out subtle lesions, even if your X-ray results appear normal.
If you have any questions regarding testing, please feel free to call our center at (852) 3504 2738.

Remain still during exposure and hold your breath for a few seconds as instructed, which helps minimize motion blur in the images.

Reports are completed within 4 to 7 business days. An electronic report (e-report) will be issued first. If you require an original hard copy report, you may collect it in person at the medical checkup center.
