How do I prepare for the x-ray exam?
For a routine x-ray examination, no preparation is required. The average x-ray study takes approx 15-20 minutes to complete.
If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, be sure to inform your physician and the technologist prior to the start of the x-ray examination. Most examinations using x-ray will not be performed on pregnant women unless the benefits of the examination outweigh the risks of radiation exposure to the fetus.
