Booking portal for easy testing
From 22 December 2020, those interested in the COVID-19 antigen test can book their appointment via our booking portal. The portal can be found on the Multiscan Cancer and Radiology Centre website, where you can choose the exact time of the test.
"The collection site will be open from Monday 28 December 2020. We are responding to the high public demand for antigen testing by setting it up at the Multiscan Cancer Centre. For the convenience of those interested, we have created a booking portal here as well and we believe that it will prove to be as successful as in our sister hospitals in Hořovice and Beroun," said František Vlček, MD, Director for Processes, Quality and Efficiency at AKESO Holding.

"The advantage of the antigen tests is the rapid detection of the SARS-CoV2 virus, where the result is known within 20 minutes of collection. The test is performed by swabbing the nasopharynx and its reliability is high, especially in people who are infectious at the time of testing. The sensitivity of the tests used has been verified in a study we recently conducted in collaboration with the 3rd Medical Faculty of the UK on a sample of 520 people. We believe that widespread and repeated testing through antigen testing can significantly slow the COVID-19 pandemic and reduce the need for expensive and restrictive containment measures," added Vlček.
Antigen testing for COVID-19 is carried out in the Clinical Oncology building (No. 24, entrance from Kyjevská Street). In order to make widespread testing meaningful and to maximise the detection of positive individuals in the population, we recommend repeated antigen testing, for example every 5-7 days, even if the previous test is negative.
