For patient safety, patients exceeding the posted weight restrictions will not be done at London X-Ray Associates. The weight limit for all Ultrasound exams is 350 lbs.
If your doctor has ordered a renal (kidney) or aortic exam, they have selected a specific part of an upper abdominal ultrasound to be performed.
Your symptoms or history are specific to these areas and, therefore, fewer pictures are required than a complete abdominal ultrasound. The examination will be similar to an abdominal ultrasound but takes less time.
How do I prepare for the test?
You must have nothing to eat or drink for at least 4 hours prior to the procedure.
