Test Preparation
No major preparation is required, but here are some simple steps to follow:
• Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown to avoid clothing artifacts on the X-ray.
• Remove metal items: Take off any belts, zippers, metallic buttons, or jewelry near the hip/pelvic area.
• Pregnancy: If you’re pregnant or might be, inform the radiology technician. A lead shield may be used for protection.
• No dietary restrictions: You can eat, drink, and take medications as usual before the test.
