Test Preparation
This is a non-invasive and quick procedure that requires minimal preparation.
Generally, there’s minimal preparation required for a knee X-ray, but here’s what you might be told:
- Clothing:
You may need to wear a hospital gown and remove clothing or jewelry around the knee area. - Inform the Radiologist:
Let them know if you:
o Are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
o Have had recent surgery or implants near the knee. - No Fasting Required:
This test doesn’t require fasting or any changes to your diet. - Stay Still During Imaging:
You’ll need to keep your knee still in a bent position while the image is taken for best results. - Follow Positioning Instructions:
The technologist will help you position your leg properly for the skyline view.
