If you want a private X-ray exam and you have a referral from your doctor then you can book an appointment now by pressing the button to arrange new appointments. You can also follow the same procedure as the GESY medium appointments and call us at +357-22519337 or e-mail us at info@elvetiko.com.

If you do not have a doctor's referral then you can contact us to guide you how to visit the right doctor who after examining you will give you the necessary referral if you think you need.

After contacting us and providing us with the information of your referral (whether it is inside or outside the GSE), then our technologists will study the referral to assure the type of examination. You will then receive a certificate with all the necessary information you need to know about your appointment.

In specific X-ray exams you may be asked to change to medical robe. If you don't feel comfortable and want to avoid it, then you can wear comfortable clothes that have no metals on them such as zipper, wires, nails, etc. The reason is because metal objects block the radiation, which can affect the quality of diagnostics images.

The duration of X-ray exams is shorter than diagnostic tests of other machines such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT (CT scan). This enables us to settle our patients' appointments between 0-2 business days.

As you come to the centre for your appointment you will introduce the reception you are on the ground floor of the centre. After your introduction, you will get to know the radiologist who will perform your exam and lead you to the locker room where you can lock your personal belongings in a special case and there you can change to a medical robe if needed. The radiologist will then explain to you the species and process of examination, and will answer any questions you have.

You will then be driven into the X-Ray room where the examination will be performed in an upright or lying position, depending on the examination. Before starting the examination process, the radiologist may need to move you in a specific way to place you at the appropriate point of the machine. Image downloads from the machine are done in seconds, like a regular camera, which greatly reduces the radiation the patient receives.

During the examination, the radiologist will be able to see you continuously, keep in touch with you and inform you of the status of the examination. In your introduction to the centre we will let you know how long your exam will last. When the exam is completed, the technologist will check the images to make sure it is of excellent quality, which will help make a quick diagnosis.

When you finish your exam, you will go gather your personal belongings and you are done! Immediately after the exam we will give you an electronic disc containing the images of your test which you will be able to get to your doctor to make it diagnose. We would recommend that you wait for our own doctors to be diagnosed and then make an appointment with your doctor so that you have a second opinion on your case. Everything about how to move on to the problem you are having to talk about with your personal doctor.
