Day Of Scan

You should plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled exam.(30 minutes if we will be giving you a sedative - ordered by your doctor in advance.) You may eat and drink anything you normally would.  You may take any medications you normally take.  Wear comfortable clothes with no metal buttons or zippers.  We will provide you with a gown if you prefer.

Upon your arrival at our center, you will be asked to complete your paper work.  You will need to provide us with your insurance card and a photo I.D.  We will collect your co-pay and/or co-insurance if due.  We will then have you change if necessary and put your belongings in a locker. You will be asked to remove all: jewelry, watches, hairpins, glasses, wallets, hearing aids, dentures, partial plates ,keys, beepers, cell phones, eyeglasses, barrettes, safety pins, paperclips, credit cards, coins, pens, etc. Everything in your pockets must be put in the locker.

Our technologist will go over your medical history and explain the procedure to you.  You will then choose either ear plugs or a radio station to listen to.  You may also bring a C.D. to listen to.

After your exam, you will change back to your cloths and collect your personal belongings. You are then free to go.  There are no restrictions on your activities after the scan, unless you were given a sedative, in which case you will want to go home and rest for several hours.  If you are given a sedative, you must bring someone with you to drive  you home.
