Our Team's Tips for Safe Radiology
Radiology procedures are performed in a safe environment using the latest equipment to ensure accurate images that aid in proper diagnosis. The process begins with preparing the patient and providing guidance on the necessary steps to ensure their comfort during and after the examination.
Before the Radiology
- You should inform your treating doctor about your current health condition, including any allergies you may have or medications you are taking regularly. This information is essential to ensure your safety and prevent any potential complications.
- If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding, it is crucial to notify your doctor before undergoing an X-ray. This will help take the necessary precautions to protect your health and the health of your child, and ensure safe alternatives are used if needed.
During the Radiology
- Avoiding Products and Creams: It is recommended not to use lotions, creams, or perfumes on the day of the exam to avoid any interference with the radiology results.
- Remove Metal Items: Make sure to remove all metal items such as jewelry, hairpins, or hearing aids, as these can affect the quality of the X-ray images.
- Fasting Before Digestive Tract Radiology: If undergoing an X-ray of the digestive system, it is advised not to eat or drink for several hours before the exam to ensure accurate results.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: It is preferable to wear comfortable and easily removable clothing before undergoing the X-ray, ensuring ease of examination and your comfort during the procedure.
Preparation and Precautions
- Remain Still During the Examination: You may be asked to stay still or move into certain positions during the X-ray. This is essential to ensure clear and accurate images.
- Hold Your Breath: In some cases, you may be asked to hold your breath for a few seconds during the examination. This helps prevent any movement that could affect the image quality.
- Restraints for Children: For children who have difficulty staying still during the exam, special restraints may be used to ensure their safety and obtain accurate images. These restraints are carefully designed to be safe and cause no harm to your child.
Expected Risks
- Radiation Risks: While excessive exposure to radiation can lead to health issues, such as cancer, X-ray imaging uses very low doses of radiation, making the risks extremely minimal. This type of imaging is considered safe for all ages when performed according to medical guidelines.
- Caution for Pregnant Women: Due to the sensitivity of embryos to radiation, pregnant women are generally advised to avoid X-rays and opt for safer imaging alternatives, such as MRI or ultrasound, to ensure the protection of the fetus.
