Taking an X-Ray

1

A: I was told to come to you to get a chest X-ray.
B: No problem. Just take your clothes off from the waist up and put the gown on, with the opening in the back.
A: Then what should I do?
B: You will stand over here up against this plate.
A: Should I just stand naturally?
B: You will raise your arms up shoulder high.
A: Is this all right?
B: Yes, you are doing great.
A: Where will you be going?
B: I need to stand behind this shield. Now you will take a deep breath, hold it, and let it out.
A: Is that it?
B: That's it. You can get dressed when the film is developed.

B: You need to come over here and face this plate.
A: Am I standing the right way?
B: I will need your arms raised to shoulder height.
A: Am I doing this the right way?
B: Everything you are doing is perfect.
A: Are you going to leave?
B: I am just getting behind this screen. You need to take a deep breath, hold it, and then breathe normally.
A: Is that all there is to it?
B: You can get dressed as soon as the film is processed. We will be all done here.
