What if it hurts to lie in certain positions?
If you have difficulty with certain positions (for example if you have a bad back or hip), please just ask the technologist if anything can be done to help you be more comfortable. Frequently simple changes in position or a well placed pillow is all it takes to help keep patients comfortable during their test.
When and how will I learn the results of my test?
