Test Preparation
Generally, this X-ray requires no special preparation. However, patients should follow a few simple steps to ensure clear imaging and safety:
Before the Test
• Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
• Remove metal objects: Take off any jewelry, watches, or metal accessories near the arm area, as they can interfere with the X-ray image.
• Inform the technician if pregnant: If you are or could be pregnant, notify the radiology staff in advance, as extra precautions may be necessary due to radiation exposure.
During the Test
• You will be asked to place your right arm in a specific position on the X-ray table.
• Stay as still as possible while the image is being taken to avoid blurry results.
• The procedure is quick and painless, typically completed within a few minutes.
