Pregnant clients may defer the chest x-ray until after delivery of the baby, however, be aware that this will slow the process as the files cannot be submitted without the x-ray.
The file will therefore sit on the website, on hold, and the exam will not be finalized until the x-ray has been uploaded and submitted.
If you choose to have the x-ray while pregnant you can have a lead apron to cover the abdomen and this will give some protection. No one, however, can give a guarantee that radiation is without harm, as there are no studies done. Each couple must weigh the risks/benefits for themselves. Please inform the x-ray staff if you are pregnant!
