How to prepare for a scan
Most ultrasound exams require no preparation. However, when scheduling an ultrasound, ask your doctor if there are any specific instructions you'll need to follow. There are a few situations:
- For some scans, such as abdominal scans, you should not eat or drink for up to eight hours before the exam, this is because the food or drink will let the gallbladder discharge bile and become empty make it not visiable under ultrasound. For those who have no gallbladder problems, you can do the scan any time.
- Others, such as a pelvic ultrasound, may require a full bladder. You may need to drink up to six glasses of water two hours before the exam and not urinate until the exam is completed. So may start accumulate water at home before you move out.
- Testicular, thyroid, breast and prostate scans do not require any special preparation.
- Young children may need additional preparation.
