Introduction:

At DMS Diagnostic, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction in every ultrasound examination we conduct. We understand that undergoing an ultrasound can be a new and sometimes intimidating experience. To help ease any concerns and ensure a smooth and positive experience for our patients, we’ve put together this guide to give you an overview of what to expect during your ultrasound appointment and how to prepare for it.

What to Expect During an Ultrasound:

Warm Welcome and Registration:
When you arrive at our facility, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff, who will guide you through the registration process. They will collect essential information and verify your appointment details.

Discussion with Sonographer:
Before the ultrasound begins, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and any questions you may have with the sonographer. They will explain the procedure, what they’ll be looking for, and ensure your comfort throughout the examination.

Preparation for the Exam:
The specific preparation for your ultrasound will depend on the type of examination. For instance, if you’re having an abdominal ultrasound, you may need to fast for a few hours before the appointment. The sonographer will provide clear instructions in advance, so you know how to prepare.

Gel Application and Scanning:
During the ultrasound, the sonographer will apply a special gel to the area being examined. This gel helps transmit sound waves and allows for clear images to be produced. The sonographer will then use a handheld device called a transducer to capture images and gather information.

Comfort and Communication:
Throughout the procedure, the sonographer will guide you through different positions and may ask you to take deep breaths or hold your breath briefly. Communication is key during the exam, so don’t hesitate to let the sonographer know if you’re uncomfortable or need a break.

Duration of the Exam:
The length of the ultrasound exam varies depending on the type of ultrasound and what needs to be examined. Most ultrasounds are relatively quick, typically taking 20-45 minutes.

How to Prepare for Your Ultrasound:

Follow Pre-Exam Instructions:
Make sure to carefully follow any pre-exam instructions provided by our team. This may include fasting or arriving with a full bladder, depending on the type of ultrasound.

Wear Comfortable Clothing:
Opt for loose and comfortable clothing that can be easily adjusted to expose the area to be examined. You may be provided with a gown to wear during the procedure.

Bring a Support Person:
You’re welcome to bring a friend or family member with you for support if you wish. Having someone familiar with you can help ease any anxiety.

Ask Questions:
Don’t hesitate to ask any questions or express concerns before or during the exam. Our sonographers are here to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.
