hip X-rays

• Procedure Time: Typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
• Common Views: You will usually lie flat on an X-ray table. The technologist may take an Anteroposterior (AP) view of both hips together, followed by a "Frog-leg" lateral view, where you bend your knee and rotate your hip outward to see the side of the joint.
• Preparation: No special prep is required. You will be asked to remove all metal from the waist area, including belts, zippers, buttons, and coins, and will likely change into a hospital gown.
• Safety: If there is any possibility of pregnancy, inform the technologist immediately, as the hip joint is located very close to the reproductive organs.
• Post-Exam: You can resume your normal activities immediately. Your results will be sent to your healthcare provider to determine the next steps in your care
