Ask the patient to remove any spectacles, hearing aids,
dentures, hairpins, and personal jewellery such as
earrings, necklaces and piercings as these can produce
shadows or reflections in the image. The patient should
also remove any loose items of clothing (e.g. scarf, tie)
that might get caught in the arm structures of the X-ray
unit.
NOTE High contrast objects, such as gold teeth or amalgam,
may cause artefacts in the image.
Place a protective lead apron over the patient's back if
required.
