π’ Chest X-ray Report Observations β Donβt Panic!
Seeing unexpected comments on your visa medical chest x-ray report? Donβt worry β hereβs what it means:
βWhy does my report say something if I feel fine?
Many findings are πππππ, ππππππ, πππ
ππππππππ. Immigration rules require us to mention ππππππππππ, even if itβs normal and doesnβt need treatment.
βWhy are you writing so much in the report?
Because your x-ray is also reviewed by immigration medical teams, we are required to follow π π‘ππππ‘ ππ’ππππππππ set by the immigration department β even if the findings are minor or not medically concerning.
βAnother doctor said itβs fine β is your report wrong?
Regular x-rays are done for general medical use. π½πππ πππ

ππππππππ β theyβre for immigration screening.
We must report even small observations that are not normally mentioned in other clinics or hospitals.
That means:
πWe look for things most regular doctors donβt mention.
πWe report even small changes, normal variations in anatomy, old scars, or signs that something πππβπ‘ need further review.
Other doctors do not focus on the same specific details we are required to report for immigration purposes. This doesnβt mean one report is wrong β just that the πππππππππ πππππ

Visa medicals are a highly specialised branch of medicine. Our physicians and radiologists receive very specific training and accreditation from international immigration authorities β training that other regular medical teams or hospitals donβt have.
Thatβs why we report in ways that may seem unusual but are actually required for your visa application to be accepted without delay.

To finish:
Your x-rays are reviewed by the immigration doctors overseas β they make the final decision, not us. We simply ensure your file meets their standards.

If youβre unsure about your report, speak to us first. Weβre always happy to explain things clearly β before wrong assumptions cause unnecessary stress.
