Test Preparation
This is a simple, painless, and non-invasive test with minimal preparation required.
General Preparation:
• No need to fast or stop medications unless advised otherwise.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing or shorts that allow easy access to the knee.
• You may be asked to change into a gown and remove any metal objects near the knee area (e.g., braces, jewelry, metal zippers).
• Inform the radiology staff if you are pregnant or might be.
On the Day of the Test:
• You’ll lie on your side with the right knee positioned on the X-ray table, or sometimes stand in a specific position.
• The technician may bend your knee slightly to get a clearer view.
• You will be asked to remain still during the image capture to avoid any blurring.
• The entire procedure usually takes 5 to 10 minutes and is painless
