Other Ultrasound Request
Describe the area and concern so the team can determine whether an available outpatient ultrasound is suitable.
What the exam evaluates
- A soft-tissue area not listed among our standard exams
- Determined by clinical review of your request
Common reasons for this exam
- An area or clinical question not listed in the standard catalog.
Approximate duration
Exam duration is confirmed after your request is reviewed and the appropriate ultrasound is determined.
What to expect
The team reviews your request before confirming the exam, price, duration, and any preparation.
How to prepare
Follow your appointment instructions
- This exam must be scheduled at least three days in advance so the appropriate sonographer can be available.
- Wait for the team to confirm the exam and preparation before fasting or changing your fluid intake.
- Wear clothing that gives easy access to the area being scanned. Bring earlier imaging reports and your order, if available.
- Continue prescribed medicines unless your clinician gives different instructions. Tell the team about pain, limited mobility, or positioning needs.
Understanding your results
- There is no standard protocol for this request. A different test or facility may be more appropriate.
What happens next?
A radiologist interprets the images. Review the report and any recommended next steps with your clinician. The sonographer may not be able to give a diagnosis during the appointment. Persistent symptoms still need follow-up even when the scan is normal.
