Your child sits or lies on an examination table. The technician helps your child sit or lie in the right position, possibly with the help of pillows. The technician then positions the X-ray machine in the exact right position. Your child must sit or lie very still while the X-rays are being taken.
Should you want to stay with your child, you are given a lead apron to wear. Otherwise you join the technician behind a glass partition where your child can still see and hear you. If you are pregnant, you must always retreat behind the glass partition while the X-rays are taken.
Another X-ray is usually taken for which your child sits or lies in a different position.
The X-rays take about 10 minutes.
