Most examinations require no special patient preparation. However, some exams DO require special preparation, such as an empty stomach or full bladder. The examinations that require preparation are listed below. If these guidelines are not carefully followed, your examination may be delayed:
Abdominal Ultrasound
Age < 2 months: No feedings for 2 hours prior to the exam.
Age 3 months to 1 year: Nothing to eat or drink for 4 hours prior to the exam.
Age 1-8 years: Nothing to eat or drink for 5 hours prior to the exam (the last meal should be a low fat meal).
More than 8 years old: Nothing to eat or drink for 6 hours prior to the exam (the last meal should be a low fat meal).
