Test Preparation
Before the Test:
• No fasting or special diet is needed.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing – you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
• Remove all metal objects such as jewelry, eyeglasses, belts, hairpins, or bras with underwire, as they can interfere with image clarity.
Inform the Radiology Team If:
• You are pregnant or suspect you might be – X-rays involve radiation, and special precautions may be needed.
• You have had any spinal surgery or implants like rods or screws.
