Some abdominal examinations require fasting, while selected pelvic studies may require a full bladder. Your coordinator will confirm the instructions
We will confirm whether the examination is suitable for a home visit before booking
The reporting and delivery process will be explained during coordination
Abdomen and pelvis ultrasound at home
Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound may require different views and preparation depending on the clinical question. We first clarify the requested examination and whether fasting, bladder filling or other instructions apply.
There is no single preparation rule for everyone. At-home suitability, appointment timing and the quote are confirmed before a visit.
A common question
Does ultrasound use X-ray radiation?
No. Ultrasound uses sound waves rather than ionising X-rays, although the appropriate test depends on the clinical question
Useful answers before arranging a visit
Can an ultrasound at home answer the same questions as one at a centre?
Home ultrasound uses the same ultrasound modality and may be suitable for many clinical questions. Results depend on the examiner, equipment, requested protocol, preparation and patient positioning; some examinations still require a centre or hospital.
Should I fast or drink water before an abdominal or pelvic ultrasound?
Preparation depends on the requested study. Some abdominal scans require fasting and some pelvic scans require a full bladder. Obtain the specific instructions before the appointment; one preparation rule does not fit every examination.
