Patients should wear clothing that is comfortable (i.e., sweat
pants, t-shirt, shorts, etc.). It may be necessary for him/her to
change into patient scrubs depending on the area being scanned.
It is possible that before or during the examination you will be
given some liquid to drink or you may be given an injection. This
oral or intravenous "contrast medium" is sometimes necessary
to produce better photographic results, as it will make the organ
under investigation stand out in relation to the surrounding tissues.
Injection of contrast medium intravenously sometimes produces a
short-lived sensation of warmth throughout the body but otherwise
the procedure doesn't involve any discomfort.
You will be advised if preparation with contrast medium will be
needed at time of booking.
