    Hi Emma,
    nothing to the scan at all, just a large x-ray machine, you lie down on the bench and they prop your legs up so you are at right angles for the hips and away you go...
    At least that's how mine was done but it is donkeys years ago!!!!!!

    Good luck anyway and hope everything is OK for you.

    It's certainly one of the more pleasant hospital tests, I enjoyed mine. Good luck and I am sure all will be well. DD

    I know you have gone but good luck.
    I found that it was {as DD says} one of the more pleasant tests and I also found that she gave me a rough idea of the results there and then.
    Love
