Description
Test Preparation
Before the Test:
• No fasting or special dietary prep is needed.
• Inform the technician if you are pregnant or might be.
• Empty your bladder and bowels, if possible, before the test — bowel gas or contents can interfere with image clarity.
• Remove metal items such as belts, zippers, buttons, or jewelry near the lower back or pelvis.
Clothing:
• You may be asked to wear a hospital gown to avoid interference from clothing.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy changing if necessary.
