How do I prepare for Ultrasound tests?

Ultrasound studies are a non-invasive way of evaluating soft tissues and organs as part of the health screening process.

If you are having an ultrasound examination of your abdomen, please fast for at least 6 hours. You are encouraged to drink at least 4 cups of water and avoid going to the toilet prior to ultrasound of the pelvis and/or prostate.

Please come in loose comfortable attire. The sonographer will apply a clear viscous gel to the area of examination.

An average study may take up to 30 minutes.As ultrasounds do not involve xrays, it is safe for pregnant and/or breastfeeding moms.
