How the Test is Performed
Much like conventional photography, motion causes blurry images on radiographs, and thus, patients may be asked to hold their breath or not move during the brief exposure (about 1 second).
The test is performed in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist. The positioning of the patient, x-ray machine, and film depends on the type of study and area of interest. Multiple individual views may be requested.

How the Test Will Feel
There is no discomfort from x-ray exposure. Patients may be asked to stay still in awkward positions for a short period of time.
