Your practical checklist

  1. 01

    What is the exact scan?

    Read the full name from the prescription; preparation depends on the body area and purpose.

  2. 02

    May the patient eat or drink?

    Ask for a clear written instruction and the time it starts.

  3. 03

    Is an appointment required?

    Confirm the date, arrival time and how late arrival affects the slot.

  4. 04

    What should come with the patient?

    Ask about the prescription, prior imaging, reports and whether a relative or chaperone may attend.

  5. 05

    When is the report ready?

    Confirm whether the image and written report are collected together and who explains the result.
