Test Preparation
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guideline:
Clothing & Accessories:
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the knees.
• Remove any metal objects (jewelry, belts, buttons) near the knee area, as they may interfere with the imaging.
Medical History & Pregnancy:
• Inform the technician if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, as X-rays involve radiation exposure.
• Mention any history of knee injuries, surgeries, or patellar issues to your doctor.
No Special Fasting Required:
• No need to fast or follow any dietary restrictions before the test.
Positioning Considerations:
• You may be asked to bend your knees while lying down or sitting to get a clear skyline view.
• If you have difficulty bending your knees, inform the technician for assistance.
