Why technicians are using Gel?
The Gel creates bond between the skin and the ultrasound probe in order to eliminate the air between the two and allow ultrasound waves through. Ultrasound Gel is hypoallergenic, clear, odor free and will not stain your clothes.
Why do you need to fast for Abdominal Ultrasound?
You need to fast (no eating, no drinking coffee, no chewing, gum or tobacco, you may drink water and tea, without sugar) for 6 hours before your Abdominal Ultrasound in order for the technician to get good quality images. Normally, intestines are filled with air and ingested food, among other things, limiting the view of organs by ultrasound. The intestines are almost empty after fasting period, which allows technician to obtain adequate images.
Can a patient receive a copy of his or her test results?
When a patient meets with his or her physician to discuss the results of the exam, the patient is welcome to request a copy of the test results and the detailed report from the ordering physician.
