The Patient’s Journey: What Happens During an X-Ray Scan?

Accepted Answer

No fasting or special preparations are required for this examination. Remove jewelry, watches, or any metal objects in the area being imaged. Very Important: Women must inform the technician if there is any possibility of pregnancy. The technician will ask you to stand or lie down in a specific position in front of the imaging plate. You will be asked to remain perfectly still for a few seconds; you may also be asked to hold your breath (in the case of a chest X-ray). The procedure is completely painless, and you will not feel anything during the imaging process. You can leave immediately and resume your normal daily activities.
