During a radiology test, you will be positioned on a table or near a machine. You might change into a gown and remove jewellery. Some tests use contrast material injected into a vein to enhance images, causing a warm sensation. The technologist ensures correct positioning and may use pillows or straps. The test can range from minutes to over an hour. Afterwards, you can usually resume normal activities and may be advised to drink fluids if you have contrast. Results are discussed in a follow-up appointment, with urgent cases reviewed sooner. The procedure is painless but can be noisy or involve table movement.
