Conventional Radiology

What does it consist of?

The radiologist technician will provide you with a gown and will ask you to remove your clothing and metal objects from the body area where you are going to have the scan. Next, the radiologist technician will place you standing or lying down between the X-ray tube and the detector screen to capture with an image the internal structures of the area under study. During the test, which lasts a few thousandths of a second, you must remain completely still and hold your breath when the technician tells you to.
