Please tell us immediately if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant. We avoid X-rays during pregnancy whenever possible to protect your developing baby. Depending on what type of X-ray you need and how urgent it is, we may:

• Use alternative imaging like ultrasound or MRI

• Postpone the X-ray if it's not urgent

• Use special protection and minimal radiation if the X-ray is essential Your safety and your baby's safety are our top priority.
