Before

There is no specific preparation prior to undergoing an X-ray scan.

Tahrascan offers a walk-in service or you can book via our simple online booking system.

During

In general, you undress whatever part of your body needs examination.  You may be asked to wear a gown during the exam, depending on which area is being X-rayed.  You may also be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, and any metal objects that can show up on the X-ray.

Once you are fully prepared, your X-ray technician will tell you how to position your body to create clear images.  The machine sends a beam of radiation through your body.

It is important to stay still while the images are being taken.  This will provide the clearest images possible.

After

After the examination, you are able to resume your normal activities.
