Getting a TB test to stay in UK [closed]

I'm looking to apply for a parental visa for the UK but I came over from South Africa without doing the TB x-ray back home. I need the TB test as per the gov website: your tuberculosis test results if you’re from a country where you have to take the test.

Does this mean I need the x-rays or can I just do the blood test and get the certificate?
