When you arrive, please check in with reception. We’ll make sure your details are correct and ask you to complete the appropriate forms.
You’ll take off your glasses, jewellery, belt, watch, hearing aids and hairpins, and may be asked to change into a gown.
You’ll lie on a padded table and the radiographer will help position your body correctly. For example, to scan the spine your legs may be placed on a padded box that flattens the pelvis and lower spine.
Once you’re all set, the radiographer will move into another room, or behind a screen – you can talk to them at any time over the intercom.
You’ll have to stay very still during your scan.
