Do I need to prepare anything for my X-ray appointment?
Most X-rays require very little preparation:
What to wear: Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes without metal zippers, buttons, or decorations. You may need to change into a hospital gown.
What to remove: All jewellery, watches, glasses, dentures, and metal objects from the area being X-rayed.
Eating and drinking: Usually no restrictions, unless specifically told otherwise.
What to bring: Your referral letter, identification, and insurance information.
For some special X-ray examinations, you may receive specific preparation instructions beforehand.
