FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a referral or a prescription to have an X-ray?
No. At Clínica Magnasalud, it is possible to request X-rays privately, without having to process prescriptions with any medical insurance.
X-rays for pregnant women: Are they recommended?
No. Although exposure to radiation is low and the probability of harming the fetus is low, the risk is still present. In urgent cases, the mother can undergo X-rays of the head and extremities using a special apron that covers her abdomen and pelvis, since in this way the fetus is protected from radiation. However, as a general rule, the use of X-rays in pregnant women is not recommended.

X-rays are especially useful for visualizing dense structures such as bones, so they are the first choice for diagnosing fractures and bone problems. They are also very effective for detecting lung problems, since the air in the lungs contrasts clearly with infected or abnormal tissues. However, it is important to remember that X-rays have limitations for the study of soft tissues, so they are often complemented with other imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI or CT scans to obtain a complete diagnosis.
