Ultrasound

Should I tell the sonographer if I feel uncomfortable during my test?

Yes. If you feel discomfort please tell the sonographer immediately. Occasionally it is necessary to press very firmly in order to image your anatomy well. Adjustments can often be made during the test to lessen the discomfort or, if you prefer, we can stop the test.

Why is it necessary to change into a gown for my ultrasound?

We ask you to change so that the water-based lubricating gel used during the test does not get your clothing wet. If you choose not to change we will still perform your test, however we cannot guarantee that your clothing will remain free from gel.
