X-Ray

An X-ray machine sends individual X-ray particles through the body;  the resulting images are recorded on a computer.

How the test is performed 

Your position relative to the X-ray table will depend on the part of your body being X-rayed. Several different X-ray views may be needed. You need to stay still when you are having an X-ray because movement can cause blurry images.

How to prepare for the test

Before the X-ray, tell your healthcare team if you are or may be pregnant. You will need to remove all jewellery and put on a hospital gown.

How the test will feel 

X-rays are painless. However, you could experience temporary discomfort as a result of holding your body in the position needed. An X-ray takes a few minutes.
