Quick answer: A portable (home) X-ray brings a mobile digital X-ray machine to the patient in Lahore — at home or bedside — so people who cannot be moved still get quick, safe imaging with a same-day report. Al-Nasar Lab offers a portable X-ray at home service for bedridden, elderly, post-surgery and critically ill patients.
What is a portable / home X-ray?
Instead of bringing the patient to a lab, a trained radiographer brings a compact, mobile digital X-ray unit to the home or bedside. Images are captured on the spot and sent to a radiologist, who issues the report the same day.
Who needs a home X-ray?
- Bedridden and immobile patients
- Elderly patients for whom travel is painful or exhausting
- Post-surgery, fracture and orthopedic patients
- Stroke, paralysis and ICU/home-ventilated patients
- Palliative and long-term home-care patients
How the home X-ray service works
Call or WhatsApp with the prescription and address, we schedule a visit (often same-day), a radiographer arrives with the portable machine, takes the images safely at the bedside, and a radiologist delivers the report digitally the same day.
Which X-rays can be done at home?
Chest, limb, fracture, spine, abdomen (KUB) and pelvis X-rays are commonly done at the bedside. Our team will advise if a study is better done at our centre.
Is it safe?
Yes — modern portable digital X-ray uses a low, targeted radiation dose, and our radiographers follow strict safety precautions for the patient and everyone in the room.
