X-Ray

Preparing for an X-Ray

•  You may be asked to remove some or all of your clothes and wear a gown during the exam.
• Remove jewelry, dentures, eye glasses and any metal objects or clothing that might interfere with the X-ray images.
• Women should inform their physician and technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant. If an X-ray is necessary, precautions will be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the baby.
• To avoid delays, remember to bring a copy of your prescription.
