General Prep Info
Each
type of imaging exam has its' own guidelines. Special
instructions for your exam will be given at the time of scheduling.
For certain procedures, we will contact you 24-48 hours prior to your
exam with preparation-specific instructions.
The following are a few general guidelines that apply to
every imaging exam:
-
Notify your physician and our staff if there is any
chance that you
may be pregnant or are currently breastfeeding.
-
Discuss any special needs - such as dietary and/or
physical
limitations with us in advance.
-
Check with us in advance about recovery time or if
a driver is
needed so you can make necessary arrangements with work and family.
-
Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing; be prepared
to change
into a patient gown if necessary.
-
Arrive early to verify your
registration information
and provide further health information for your exam.
-
Bring prior x-rays or scans with you to the exam
if you are
instructed to do so.
