previous xray film

[bookworm123 7]

Hi everyone!I have an old xray film (january 31 2014).I am debating whether to bring it or not.It is normal,I do it yearly.If I bring it for comparison and they notice an odd abnormality against the old xray,i may do the sputum exam right?Do you think it will be safer to just leave the old xray result at home?Thanks a lot.

SLEC website says that only command sponsored type people (military, etc) must present "Old chest x-ray films taken 3 months prior to the medical examination, or older - if available"

It appears to be optional for all other visa applicants.

I do know SLEC uses their equipment and tests to determine any abnormalities. I have read they have an X-ray machine there that is very high quality and could detect things that lesser X-ray machines are incapable of.

Good luck!

It doesn't matter if you bring it. If they find your chest xray suspicious, sputum it is. They don't care about past xrays because they weren't the one who conducted it and that is already 6 months old.

You can bring it...but, they won't look at it. As another has said, SLEC relies solely on their own xrays. If your previous xray was clear...its a good chance that you shouldn't have a problem. But, SLEC will be the judge of that.
