How do I prepare for my fluoroscopy procedure?
Patient Preparation
Preparation instructions depend on your specific fluoroscopy procedure:
General instructions:
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal
Remove all jewellery, watches, and metal objects from the area being examined
Bring your referral, identification, and insurance information
For digestive system studies:
You may need to fast (no food or drink) for 8-12 hours beforehand
Stop certain medications if instructed
For joint injections or other procedures:
Usually, no fasting required
Continue regular medications unless told otherwise
Arrange transport home if you're having sedation
Important: You'll receive specific written instructions when your appointment is scheduled. These will be tailored to your exact procedure. Please follow them carefully and call us if you have any questions.
