Your Safety Summary

An x-ray (or radiograph) is a type of picture produced by passing a very small amount of radiation through the body to expose a sensitive detector or film that is positioned on the other side. The image shows the internal structures including the bones and some of the soft tissues.

Preparation

There is no special preparation required for most x-rays. Once you arrive, you may be asked by the radiographer to change into a gown before your examination. You may also be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, and any metal objects that may obscure the images.

You will be exposed to a small amount of radiation when you receive an x-ray. At Perth Radiological Clinic, we use advanced digital x-ray machines to ensure you are exposed to the minimum amount of radiation needed to obtain adequate images.

If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be, you should tell your doctor or radiographer before the test is performed, as special precautions may have to be taken.
