Milpark Radiology is one of the few radiology practices that offers chest X-rays for immigration purposes. A radiological report of the chest is required in respect of every prospective immigrant over the age of 12 years. The X-ray is required to exclude tuberculosis. Should the applicant be suffering from tuberculosis, a separate report is required. Chest immigration imaging includes a diagnostic radiology report, image, and an official and legalised signed letter for the Department of Home Affairs.
