If you are at iCare for an X-ray, you will be asked to remove any jewelry and possibly wear a lead apron to protect the other parts of your body. The technician will then rub the ultrasound transducer across your skin, sending high-frequency sound waves through your body to create an image that the physician will then interpret. While wearing a gown, you will be asked to lie down on the exam table while our technician applies a lubricating jelly to your skin. If you are coming in for an ultrasound, our physicians may ask you to avoid food for 8 – 12 hours beforehand, since food can block views or distort the images. You will be able to communicate with the technician during the process through an intercom system.
Detectors and the X-ray tube will rotate around you, taking several images simultaneously. Once prepared, you will lie on a narrow table that will slide you into the scanner. Jewelry should be taken off and you may need to wear a gown.
If a CT scan is necessary, you may be instructed to not eat or drink anything for the next a few hours before your scan, or to take certain medications 12 hours before the scan if you have certain allergies. When you visit iCare for diagnostic or imaging purposes, our experienced team of physicians and radiologists will educate you and direct you through the process if you are new to the testing.
