Request-led diagnostic imaging

X-Ray services on Malibongwe Drive, Randburg

Start with the body area or clinical question—not a generic scan. InsureSPR can receive the request, check that the examination is supported and confirm the practical route before you travel.

Important: before any exposure, the team must verify an appropriate written, signed clinical request and that the examination is suitable. Tell the team if you are or may be pregnant.

Request, verify, attend

The clinical request comes before the exposure.

  1. Request

    Tell us the examination and body area named by the referring professional.

  2. Verify

    Staff check the written request, suitability, price and attendance route.

  3. Attend

    Come to EmedCentre only after the practical details are confirmed.

Choose the examination route

Clear options, not a full-body screening menu

Medical X-rays use ionising radiation and require a valid clinical reason. These routes help organise a request; the referring professional and radiography team determine what is appropriate.

Employer route

Chest X-rays for risk-based workplace programmes

Employer imaging belongs inside a programme defined by the employer and occupational health practitioner. An X-ray alone does not establish fitness for work.
