Replies Italianlnm Posted at 9:42 am on July 10, 2009 When I had a chest X-ray done they made me change into a hospital gown becauase of having a bra on with metal clasps. It really is easy though and it takes all of 5 minutes. You go in and then they do it and your done. Easy Peasy.

Pretty much, it shouldn't take long, and these days (at least here in the UK) they don't even use film anymore, it's all digitised.

This. What is wrong? Chasey Posted at 6:28 am on July 10, 2009 They make you hold your breath then have you stand infront of this weird thing and it takes the xrays, or they make you lay on this table thing and the xray machine goes over you Dexter Ward Posted at 6:27 am on July 10, 2009 You either stand or lay down, they put the plate with the film behind you, they take the x-ray.
