Ultrasound

   There is no special preparation required for most general radiographs.

Once you arrive, you may be asked to change into a gown before your examination. You will also be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses and any metal objects that could show up on the images and overlap important findings.

Women should always inform their doctor or x-ray technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant.

You may take any prescription medications as usual unless otherwise instructed.
