- A plain x-ray is painless and usually takes less than 15 minutes. It can be done in a hospital or a private radiology practice. X-rays are done by a radiographer or medical imaging technologist.
- A radiologist (doctor trained to interpret x-rays) will review your images. Your doctor will be sent a report.
- During the procedure you'll be asked to lie, sit or stand, depending on the part of the body being x-rayed. It is important not to move during the x-ray. You may be asked to take a deep breath and hold it while the images are taken.
- A protective shield or apron may be used to protect parts of your body that are not being x-rayed.
- If you use a wheelchair, you may need to move or be moved onto a different chair. This prevents the metal parts of your wheelchair affecting the image.
- For children, a parent or carer can usually stay with a child during the x-ray. This will help reassure them and keep them still.
