In the Kymenlaakso Central Hospital X-ray unit, we perform plain X-ray examinations without appointment and other examinations by appointment.
We perform plain X-ray examinations (bones, chest, scoliosis, long bones, mechanical axis, teeth) without appointment. You can come in for imaging examinations when it best suits you.
Other examinations (for example ultrasound examinations) require an appointment. You will be given an appointment for the examination and you will be informed of the appointment by letter.
We have a patient lift, e.g., to transfer patients from a wheelchair to an examination table. Please call us in advance if you need to use a patient lift. More information about patient lifts.
Please note that emergency patients requiring urgent care will be taken to imaging first, so other patients may need to wait.
We conduct examinations for customers in the Kymenlaakso wellbeing services county. Information on Kymenlaakso wellbeing services county's health services.
