Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, as you may need to partially or fully expose your abdomen during the scan. Follow any additional instructions provided by your clinician, such as drinking water if required. If you have diabetes or take regular medication, continue your usual routine and inform the medical team of any symptoms.
