Where do you stand during fluoroscopy?

I am a 40 year old male and I will have fluoroscopy. Where do you stand during fluoroscopy?

Fluoroscopy is basically the same thing as making a video with your cell phone, except that it uses a fluoroscopic camera that takes a video of what you look like on the inside using X-rays. Just like any other video, we can take a picture of you standing up, sitting down, or lying down.
Mostly done remotely. Sometimes need to be in room next to patient.
