Ultrasound scans are commonly associated with pregnancy. These scans might provide an expectant mother her first glimpse of her unborn child. However, the exam has a variety of different applications. If you are experiencing discomfort, swelling, or other symptoms that necessitate an interior look of your organs, your doctor may recommend an ultrasound. An ultrasound can also be used to help surgeons direct their movements during some medical operations, such as biopsies. The actions you take to prepare for an ultrasound will be determined by the location or organ being checked. If your abdomen is being inspected, your doctor may advise you to fast for eight to twelve hours before your ultrasound. Undigested food might obstruct sound waves, making it harder for the technician to see clearly. You may be instructed to have a fat-free meal the evening before your test and then fast until the procedure for an evaluation of the gallbladder, liver, pancreas, or spleen. You can, however, continue to drink water and take your prescriptions as directed. For different kind of tests.
