Thyroid Ultrasound

Each imaging exam has its own guidelines. Special instructions for your exam will be given at the time of scheduling. For certain procedures, we will contact you 24-48 hours prior to your exam with specific preparation instructions. The following are general guidelines that apply to all imaging exams:

• Notify your physician and our staff if there is any chance that you may be pregnant and/or are currently breastfeeding.
• Discuss any special needs – such as dietary and/or physical limitations – with us in advance.
• Ask us about recovery time in advance, and let us know if you require a driver so that you can make the necessary arrangements with work and/or family.
• Wear comfortable, metal-free clothing. Be prepared to change into a patient gown if necessary.
• Arrive 20 minutes in advance to verify your registration information and provide any additional health information before your exam.
• Bring prior x-rays or scans with you to the exam if you are instructed to do so.
