Test Preparation
Generally, no special preparation is needed for this test, but here are some useful points:
Before the Test:
• Inform your doctor if you’re pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal fasteners or zippers in the hip area.
• Remove jewelry or metal objects near the pelvic region.
In Some Cases:
• You may be asked to wear a hospital gown if your clothes interfere with the imaging.
• If you’re having multiple X-rays or imaging studies, fasting may be required, though rarely for an SI joint X-ray alone.
