What happens during your appointment?
At your appointment, depending on the part of body to be examined, your radiographer will ask you to lie on the table or stand against a flat surface on the wall. They will then aim the x-ray machine to the part of your body that needs the x-ray and will go on to operate the machine from behind a screen.
You will be asked to remain still in order to get a clear image. The procedure lasts for a fraction of a second. If your consultant requires more than one angle to be reviewed, this will be arranged for by our team.
