Test Preparation
Usually, minimal preparation is needed, but here are general guidelines:
- Before the Test:
• No fasting required – You can eat and drink as usual.
• Remove jewelry or metallic objects from the head and neck area (earrings, glasses, hairpins, etc.) as they can - interfere with the X-ray image.
• Inform the technician if:
o You are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
o You have had previous head or ear surgeries. - During the Test:
• You will be asked to lie down or sit with your head positioned at a specific angle.
• Stay very still during the X-ray to avoid blurring.
• The procedure is quick and painless – usually completed within a few minutes.
