X-ray Clinic Singapore

What is an X-ray?

X-ray is usually used to examine different parts of the body such as chest, pelvis, bone, and abdomen for injuries, infections, or abnormalities. It is a common type of medical imaging that produces images of the structures inside your body as X-ray beams penetrate through it. Dense materials, such as bone and metal, will appear as white on X-rays, while soft materials such as fat and muscle will show up as darker images on the film. You can conveniently get your scannings at our X-ray clinics in Singapore. Visit Bedok clinic, Jurong Point clinic, Teban clinic or any other location to get the best health scannings!

Common Use of X-ray

Generally, X-rays are the easiest and fastest way to check for any broken bones/joints, injuries to the spine, infections, abnormal bone growths, foreign objects in tissues/around bones, and sports injuries. X-rays can also be used to determine lung infections such as TB and pneumonia. For those seeking fast and efficient corporate healthcare services, our X-ray clinic in Singapore in locations like Jurong Point and Taman Jurong offer accessible diagnostic solutions.

X-rays are also a required item as part of certain Statutory Medical Examinations and for Work Pass applications. The Ministry of Manpower, for example, requires that all work permit applicants go through an X-ray screening to check for any signs of tuberculosis. If you are visiting our X-ray clinic in Singapore for such purposes, locations like the Taman Jurong clinic is open even in the evenings and weekends for your convenience.
