BEFORE THE ULTRASOUND

Appointment Scheduling

  • Discuss your medical history, including any implants, allergies, or past surgeries, with your doctor before scheduling the MRI.
  • Inform your doctor if you’re pregnant, as MRI scans are generally avoided during pregnancy unless deemed necessary.

Clothing and Accessories

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that’s easy to remove, as you might be asked to change into a gown.
  • Depending on the area being examined, you might need to expose specific body parts for the ultrasound.

Hydration and Fasting

  • Some abdominal ultrasounds might require you to avoid eating or drinking for a specific time before the scan.
