Understanding X-Ray Tests

An X-ray is a diagnostic imaging test that uses a small amount of ionising radiation to create images of structures inside the body. Doctors may recommend an X-ray when they need to examine bones, the chest or certain other body structures.

Why Might a Doctor Recommend an X-Ray?

X-rays are commonly used to examine suspected bone fractures, assess certain joint problems and investigate some chest conditions. The type of X-ray depends on the symptoms and the clinical question your doctor wants to investigate.

How Should You Prepare?

Many routine X-ray examinations require little or no special preparation. Depending on the body part being examined, you may be asked to remove jewellery, metal objects or clothing that could interfere with the image.

What Happens During an X-Ray?

A radiography professional positions you according to the examination. You may be asked to remain still or hold your breath briefly while the image is taken. The exact procedure depends on the type of examination.

Is an X-Ray Safe?

X-rays use ionising radiation. The amount used varies with the examination. Medical imaging should be performed when clinically appropriate, using suitable radiation-safety measures. Inform the healthcare professional if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before the examination.

Do You Need a Doctor's Advice?

Your doctor can help determine whether an X-ray is appropriate for your symptoms and which examination is required. Imaging findings should be interpreted in the context of your medical history and clinical examination.
