In the South Karelia Central Hospital’s X-ray unit, we perform plain X-ray examinations without appointment and other examinations by appointment.
You can book an appointment for bone densitometry by phone. The referring unit will make an appointment for you for any other examinations that require an appointment.
We do not have a patient lift, e.g., to transfer patients from a wheelchair to an examination table. List of our units with patient lifts.
You are free to choose your X-ray location
Once you receive a referral to HUS for skeletal, chest, or dental X-ray examinations, you are free to choose the imaging unit where you go for the examinations. Most X-ray units do not require booking an appointment.
