Key Details for Patients
- Procedure Time: Typically takes about 5–10 minutes.
- Common Views: You will usually sit in a chair next to the X-ray table. The technologist will take images with your arm in different positions—usually flat (AP) and bent at a 90-degree angle (Lateral).
- Preparation: No special prep is required. You will be asked to remove any jewelry, watches, or clothing with metal sleeves that could interfere with the image.
- Positioning: You may need to move your arm into slightly uncomfortable positions for a few seconds to get the best angle, but the X-ray process itself is entirely painless.
- Post-Exam: There is no recovery time. You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the test.
