Around the clock
Sometimes situations arise when you urgently need to take an x-ray, but you or a person close to you cannot get to the clinic on your own. Then an at-home x-ray will be your salvation. Often, this kind of examination is necessary if there are bruises, trauma with suspected bone fractures, the presence of ENT diseases (sinusitis, sinusitis, etc.), as well as pathological changes in the lungs.
How are x-rays done at home?
Carrying out x-ray examinations at home has become possible with the advent of more compact digital x-ray machines. They are still quite large and heavy, but they can still be transported in a car and lifted into apartments.
How the examination takes place:
- You must pre-register for the examination by telephone.
- The doctor tells you what preparatory procedures need to be carried out (not eating in the morning, doing an enema, etc.).
- At the appointed time, a specialist arrives with the necessary equipment and conducts an examination.
- Within 10-15 minutes a picture is taken, after which it is described.
In some organizations, specialized specialists may also come on site. For example, a traumatologist may come along with a radiologist if there is a suspicion of a fracture, dislocation or other injury (a good example of a well-known company). If necessary, the doctor carries out the required therapeutic actions (applies a plaster cast, realigns the joint, etc.).
Patient participation:
- It is necessary to describe the situation in detail when filling out the application (complaints, patient data, etc.).
- It is important to take a responsible approach to preparation if it is required.
- Before the doctor arrives, pets must be locked in a separate room or on the balcony.
It is also advisable to wash yourself before the examination, if this is possible and will not harm the person being examined.

What types of x-rays can be done at home?
It is worth immediately noting that in emergency situations, X-rays at home are not allowed! If an urgent examination is required, you must call an ambulance. In other cases, you can use the service.
Who needs x-rays at home?
X-ray examinations at home are intended primarily for bedridden patients who are difficult to transport to a medical facility. X-rays are also often taken at home if various injuries are suspected, in particular fractures and dislocations of the limbs.
What types of x-rays can be done at home:
- Limbs, pelvis, forearm, shoulder - to detect fractures and dislocations.
- Spine - for injuries and other abnormalities.
- Lungs - for diagnosing pneumonia.
- Detection of tumors.
- Nasal sinuses - if sinusitis is suspected.
These are the main types of x-ray examinations that can be successfully performed at home. Other examinations will have to be done at a medical institution (mammography, fluorography, x-ray with contrast, etc.).

Can the research results be trusted?
The accuracy of the results of an X-ray examination depends on the level of equipment and the qualifications of the radiologist. Whether an x-ray is performed at home or in a clinic makes absolutely no difference.
Therefore, you can trust the results. Often, thanks to modern digital equipment, examinations at home are even more informative than in many public hospitals with old or simply cheap X-ray machines.
We will help you urgently or as planned
The MOSMED medical center provides hospitalization services both in emergency cases and on a planned basis. In case of acute and emergency conditions, our doctors will promptly arrive on site, conduct an examination, provide first aid and quickly transport you to the hospital. In case of planned hospitalization for chronic diseases, we will select the appropriate paid hospital in Moscow and organize transportation of the patient to the destination. In the hospital emergency room, our patients immediately undergo all the necessary examinations: an electrocardiogram (ECG), examination by specialists of the required profile, laboratory tests of blood and urine. For some conditions, an ultrasound, x-ray, or CT scan may be done. In a paid hospital, you will be assigned an attending physician, whose responsibilities include drawing up an examination and treatment plan.
All types of diagnostic and therapeutic measures must be coordinated with our specialist - a curator from the paid hospitalization service. If the patient is in a critical or serious condition, he is placed in the intensive care ward and in the intensive care unit, where all measures to provide emergency care and support life will be carried out.
Where can I order an x-ray at home?
Option 1. There are special companies that carry out X-ray examinations at home. This is their main line of work, so there are always free specialists who can come and conduct an examination.
Option 2. Many private clinics also perform X-rays at home. They provide this service as an option, so you often have to adjust to the time when the doctor is not busy in the clinic itself. Well, the price is usually several times higher.
The first option is much more attractive in terms of conditions and price. Plus, the attitude of the doctors themselves is in most cases much more pleasant. But such companies are not found in all cities, but on-site radiology in private clinics is often found in small towns.
Prevention of pressure sores of heels and other risk areas
Localization of bedsores requires nuances of caring for them. For example, how to get rid of bedsores on the buttocks, because a bedridden person relies most on the buttocks, and the skin in this place experiences strong pressure.
The problem is solved comprehensively:
- reducing pressure with the help of anti-bedsore products - mattresses, rubber pads, gel pillows;
- ensuring the cleanliness and dryness of this area of the body by frequently changing diapers, diapers and special washing after performing natural needs;
- treating wounds with special agents - disinfectants, healing and drying agents;
- if possible, change body position, turning from side to side every 2 hours.
Heels are also a risk area, and the best prevention of heel bedsores is the use of special pillows that are sold in pharmacies. The pillow allows you to distribute the weight of your legs more evenly and raise them above the level of the bed. There are also foot holders, which are like a thick, padded bracelet that fits around the ankle. The foot hangs in the air and the heels do not experience any pressure.
Recommendations for selection
When choosing an organization that will perform x-rays at home, we recommend starting from the following points.
- New generation digital X-ray machines are used (manufactured no earlier than 2000).
- Equipment from the best manufacturers (General Electric, Siemens, Philips, Shimadzu).
- The first or highest category for on-call doctors.
- Availability of positive reviews. If an x-ray at home is ordered from a clinic, then you should pay attention to its reputation.
We thank Ilya Maximy, a radiologist of the highest category from Moscow, for his help in preparing the material!
