Test Preparation
No special preparation is usually required. Here’s what to keep in mind:
• Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing. You may need to remove your shoe and sock from the left foot.
• Remove metal items: Remove any metallic objects near the foot or ankle, such as anklets or toe rings.
• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or suspect you might be, inform the radiology technician so proper shielding can be used.
• No fasting needed: You can eat, drink, and take medications as normal before the test.
