There are a wide variety of ultrasound tests with different ways to prepare. Some require you to drink a large amount of water prior to the test, while for others you must not eat or drink for a certain number of hours before the test. Depending on your test, you may require no preparation at all.

Clothing
An ultrasound may require you to remove articles of clothing and you may be asked to put on a paper gown. Some jewelry articles may interfere with the test and may have to be removed. Loose clothing is required for most ultrasound types.
Before The Test
You will be asked into the room after changing into a gown or removing clothing from the area being examined.
During The Test
A sonographer would place a gel onto the area being examined to ensure an instrument called a transducer makes contact with your skin. For some ultrasound tests (transvaginal), the probe is inserted into a natural opening in the body. Most other ultrasound tests are done on the skin surface.
After The Test
You can remove the ultrasound gel with relative ease and no traces. You may go about your daily activities immediately after the test unless otherwise advised by our staff. The reports will be produced by the reading physician and shared with your referring doctor. You may discuss these results with your doctor at a follow-up appointment.
