Radiology (Xray)

When you arrive for your appointment, we will likely conduct a physical examination and obtain x-rays using our state-of-the-art x-ray machines! To best prepare for your appointment, we recommend that you wear clothing that lacks any metal objects such as buttons, zippers, underwires, or clips. Wear loose-fitting clothing that allows for unrestricted movement and allows your healthcare team to visibly see the area being examined. We generally advise against jeans, and please be prepared to remove jewelry such as bracelets, rings, and earrings.

Upper Extremity (Shoulder, neck, and upper back):

• If an x-ray is ordered, you will be asked to remove necklaces, earrings, and any garments with metallic objects, such as bras with underwire, hooks, or adjustment straps. Even plastic typically has metal underneath.
• We recommend wearing clothing that is loose fitting, allows your healthcare team to see the area well and allows for unrestricted movement. Thin-strapped tank tops are a great example.

Lower Extremity (Hips, knees, foot, and ankle):

• If an x-ray is ordered, you will be asked to remove anklets and any garments with metallic objects such as zippers, buttons, or grommets. You may also be asked to remove your footwear, so we advise wearing something that is easy to slip in and out of.
• We recommend wearing clothing that is loose fitting, allows your healthcare team to see the area well and allows for unrestricted movement. We recommend AGAINST jeans. Tight-fitting leggings can be restrictive when pulled up above the knee. Athletic shorts or loose-fitting sweatpants work well.

Low Back:

• If an x-ray is ordered, you will be asked to remove anything with metallic objects from the shoulders to the knees. This includes necklaces, earrings, and any garments with metallic objects, such as bras with underwire, hooks, or adjustment straps, and pants with metallic zippers, buttons, or grommets.
• We recommend wearing clothing that is loose fitting, allows your healthcare team to see the area well and allows for unrestricted movement.

• If you have had imaging done in the last year from another facility, you can request that the facility send a CD via mail to our facility. Be advised that this is not always timely and can sometimes be lost in the mail. If your appointment is soon or you want to make sure images, make it here on time for your appointment, we recommend hand carrying a CD of your previous imaging to the clinic for your appointment.
• Please note that your Surgeon, Physician or Advanced Practitioner may decide to order additional imaging to aid in your diagnosis and treatment.
