Examination Preparation

X-RAY “DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY”

Depending on the body part being examined, you may be asked to change into a provided gown. Jewellery and body piecing items which are in the field of interest may make interpretation of the images difficult. For this reason, removal of these items is preferable. No other specific preparation is required.
