Preparations – Chest Radiography

A chest x-ray performed by SMIL requires no special preparation.

You may be asked to remove some or all of your clothes and to wear a gown during the exam. You may also be asked to remove jewelry, removable dental appliances, eye glasses and any metal objects or clothing that might interfere with the x-ray images.

Women should always inform their physician or technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant.
