  3. Front view: Stand against the plate and hold your arms up or towards the sides. The shoulders should roll forward. The X-ray technician asks you to take a deep breath and hold it for the next few seconds.
  4. Side view: Turn while placing one of the shoulders on the plate. Also, as before, hold your arms up and raise the hands over the head. The X-ray technician asks you to take a deep breath and hold it for the next few seconds.

After the test

  2. Also, patients are required to take appointment with their respective doctor to discuss the results for future treatment planning.
