Test Preparation
Good news—minimal preparation is typically required for this test. However, here are a few things to keep in mind:
General Preparation:
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You might be asked to change into a hospital gown.
• Remove jewelry or metal objects from the arm and wrist area (e.g., bracelets, watches, rings) as these can interfere with the X-ray image.
• Inform your technician if you are or may be pregnant.
On the Day of the Test:
• No fasting or special medication adjustments are usually required.
• Just arrive on time and follow instructions given by the radiology team.
