Your Practical Pre-Scan Checklist
Good preparation ensures a smooth scan. Choose loose, comfy clothing without zippers or metal – you may put on a gown. Remove all jewellery and piercings. Tell the team about any medical implants, pregnancy, or metallic fragments. Follow instructions on eating and drinking; abdominal scans may need fasting. Come understanding why the scan is needed. Being mentally ready to stay still and handle the noise is half the battle won before you step into the room, making the entire process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved.
