Preparation for
Scans:
For the Coronary Artery Scan and Lung Scans, no preparation is
required. Scan time is only 8 to 10 minutes.
For the Abdomen, Pelvis, or Full-Body Scans,
some preparation is required; you will need to get our Barium
Preparation the day before your appointment, which must be picked up at
our office. It does need to be kept refrigerated. For
Morning Scan appointments, do not eat after
midnight; drink 1 bottle of preparation before bed and 1/2 bottle the
next morning one hour prior to the test. Bring the remainder with
you and drink the rest at our facility, right before the test
begins. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment
time. Actual scan time will be about 15 minutes.
For Afternoon Scan
Appointments, drink one bottle of preparation at 8 A.M. and you
may eat a light meal and drink up to four hours prior to your
appointment. Drink 1/2 of the second bottle one hour before your
appointment and the other half at our office right before the test
begins, so please bring it with you.
