Before Your Procedure

If you are in New Zealand and require a chest X-ray for immigration purposes, you must first visit an NZ Immigration Panel Medical Clinic.

For your convenience, there is a medical clinic that offers full Immigration Medical services on-site at Lux's facilities, and can be contacted for this service.

At the clinic you choose, the doctor will:

  • Create a case for you.
  • Refer you to a radiology clinic for the X-ray.

The panel physician will enter your information into the NZ Immigration Medical database, activating your NZER tracking number.

On the day of your appointment, bring your passport and active eMedical number. This ensures our reception has all necessary information to provide you with the best care.

Please make certain to Inform us of any medical conditions or previous imaging results.

On the Day of Your Procedure

Arrive at least 15 minutes early.

Make certain to;

  • Follow any specific preparation instructions given during your booking.
  • Bring your passport and relevant documents.
  • Bring your Active eMedical number.

About the Procedure

Depending on the area to be X-rayed, you may need to remove jewelry, certain clothing items, or change into a gown.

You will stand against a detector while the radiographer, who is behind a screen but can communicate with you, takes the X-ray. It is essential to remain still, as the X-ray process only takes a few seconds.

For children, the radiographer may use restraints to keep them still. These are not painful but can be distressing. Parents may stay with their child, wearing a lead apron to avoid exposure.

After Your Procedure

  • Results will be forwarded to your immigration consultant or case officer.
  • Follow-up procedures will be advised if necessary.

Who Can’t Have an X-Ray

  • Pregnant women must consult with their doctor before scheduling an X-ray.
  • Individuals with specific health conditions should notify us in advance to determine the suitability of the procedure.

Booking X-Ray Services

  1. You need a referral from your health professional to be able to book an appointment for a general X-Ray. You can upload or email your referral from our booking page.
  2. You can book your X-Ray scan online for a scheduled time, or you can simply walk-in to our clinic during open hours.
  3. If you have previous X-Rays which are relevant, please bring them with you. This may reduce the number of X-Rays you need and improve the accuracy of the report.

There is no specific preparation needed prior to undergoing an X-ray scan.
