During Your Exam

You may be asked to change into a gown and remove personal items such as jewelry or watches. During the exam, you’ll lie on a cushioned, adjustable table and be positioned comfortably using supports as needed.

For optimal image quality, remaining still is important. You’ll hear soft tapping or knocking sounds as images are captured. A technologist is available throughout the exam and can communicate with you at any time via intercom. Most exams take approximately 15 minutes, and normal activities may be resumed immediately afterward.
