Understanding The Service
Focused Imaging, Clear Instructions
Digital radiography uses X-rays to create images of selected body areas. The technologist explains how to stand, sit, or lie for the requested views and may ask you to remain still briefly. The appropriate examination depends on the order and your clinical circumstances, including any pregnancy considerations.
Recommendations are based on individual circumstances. The information here can help you prepare questions, but it cannot determine whether a particular service is right for you.

What The Process May Involve
The details vary, but clear explanations should be part of every stage.
Review the order and body area
Start with the reason for the visit and the relevant background. Ask what information is needed before moving ahead.
Position for the requested views
Review the recommendation and the practical details. There should be room for questions about benefits, limitations, and alternatives.
Send images for interpretation
Understand the next step, any instructions, and who is responsible for follow-up. Ask for clarification whenever the plan is unclear.
Before Your Visit
A Little Preparation Helps
A few practical details can make your appointment more useful. Confirm the instructions for your own visit rather than relying on general guidance alone.
- Bring the imaging order if needed
- Remove items as instructed
- Tell staff if pregnancy is possible
Call ahead if preparation instructions are unclear, if circumstances change, or if you need an accessibility accommodation.
