Radiograph

We use X-rays during a radiographic examination. A detector measures the transmitted rays and a computer converts this data into images. The use of X-rays is not without danger and therefore only professional supervisors and/or guardians of children are allowed in the examination room, provided the necessary precautions are taken. During the examination, recordings are made while sitting, lying, or standing.

The course of an X-ray examination

An X-ray examination is carried out exclusively based on a medical prescription. The examination cannot and may not legally proceed without a medical prescription from your referring doctor.

Most radiographic examinations can be done every working day between 8:30 AM and 12:00 PM and from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM without an appointment.

You can register directly at the Radiology / Medical Imaging desk with your identity card and medical prescription.

It is necessary to make an appointment by telephone for the following specific X-ray examinations:

• swallowing function
• esophagus, stomach, duodenum (SMD), gastric band control
• small intestinal transit or small-bowel follow-through
• colon / large intestine examination
• (retrograde) cystography (bladder examination)
• arthrography (CT-artro or MRI-artro)
• Dacryocystography (DCG)
• ERCP
• hysterosalpingography (HSG)
• defecography

After the examination

The radiologist makes a report with all the findings of the examination.

You will receive a code/link with which the images and the radiologic report can be viewed by yourself and the requesting doctor. The requesting doctor will discuss the results with you afterward based on the radiological report.

Pregnancy 

X-rays can be harmful to the unborn child. If you are pregnant or could be, discuss with your doctor whether the examination can be postponed or should be replaced by another better-suited / safe examination. Always report this to the medical imager before the examination. The radiologist makes a report with all the findings of the examination.
