Your practical checklist
- 01
What is the exact scan?
Read the full name from the prescription; preparation depends on the body area and purpose.
- 02
May the patient eat or drink?
Ask for a clear written instruction and the time it starts.
- 03
Is an appointment required?
Confirm the date, arrival time and how late arrival affects the slot.
- 04
What should come with the patient?
Ask about the prescription, prior imaging, reports and whether a relative or chaperone may attend.
- 05
When is the report ready?
Confirm whether the image and written report are collected together and who explains the result.
