Abstract
The gender landscape is changing and as such situations occur where transgender and non-binary patients may be misgendered prior to or during a diagnostic imaging exam. Misgendering may negatively affect the patient in several ways and can also lead to outing patients in a public space, leaving them vulnerable to harassment. Furthermore, there are cases where misgendering may lead to incorrect placement of gonadal shielding (during x-ray exams) or not ascertaining pregnancy status of a patient. Providers cannot depend on gender markers.
