Your practical checklist

  1. 01

    Match the request

    Confirm the body part, side and view exactly as written by the clinician.

  2. 02

    Bring records

    Carry the prescription and relevant previous images or reports if the clinician asked for comparison.

  3. 03

    Share safety information

    Tell the technologist and clinician about pregnancy possibility or another relevant condition before imaging.

  4. 04

    Follow on-site instructions

    Staff may ask you to remove metal objects or adjust clothing depending on the examination.

  5. 05

    Plan the report

    Ask when the report and image will be ready and how the treating clinician will review them.
