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 20 minutes 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.
