Test Preparation
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guidelines:
- Clothing – Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the arms. You may need to remove garments covering the upper limbs.
- Fasting – Not required unless specified by your doctor. You can eat and drink normally.
- Medications – Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
- Hydration – You may be advised to drink water for better imaging, though it’s usually not necessary.
- Avoid Smoking & Caffeine – Refrain from smoking or consuming caffeine at least 2-3 hours before the test, as these can affect blood circulation.
- No Lotions or Oils – Avoid applying any lotions, creams, or oils on your arms before the test, as they may interfere with the ultrasound gel.
