My daughter got her second Cheneau brace two weeks ago. She is scheduled for an in-brace x-ray at Children's Hospital at the end of this month. Each time she has been x-rayed, the technician has not put on the protective apron over her pelvis area. I inquired about this and was told the x-ray needs to see her entire spine and pelvis. The apron would cover that area. Although that makes sense, isn't it dangerous? Is this normal and to be expected to check her spine. So far she has been x-rayed about 5-6 times since her diagnosis in the fall of 2007.
Thanks!
