How to Dress for an Ultra Life Total Body Scan Ultrasound

The Ultra Life Body Scan uses ultrasound technology to scan your internal organs and body to detect possible conditions such as signs of cancer within the body, heart health and possible plaque buildup, and overall health of other organs to prevent liver or heart disease. While ultrasounds are painless and non-invasive, there are a variety of recommendations suggested to ensure you have the most comfortable experience.

Instructions

1. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to your ultrasound appointment. While it's not required that you do so, wearing comfortable clothing may be easier for you to remove and put on before and after the procedure.

2. Dress in the provided gown prior to beginning the Ultra Life Body Scan. The Radiology Info website indicates that all clothing and jewelry may need to be removed before the procedure to ensure proper readings. The ultrasound is placed directly on the skin surface, so no clothing should come in the way of the equipment.

3. Replace your clothing once the body scan is done, within 20 to 30 minutes depending on the procedure. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing will allow you to get dressed easier once the procedure is done.
