Questions

Abdominal ultrasound questions

Where do South Lake Tahoe patients have their abdominal ultrasound?

At home. We come to you, and every price includes travel.

Do I need to prepare?

For a complete or limited abdominal study, avoid food and drink for at least 8 hours beforehand. For a renal and bladder study, drink 32 oz of water 45 minutes before and arrive with a full bladder.

Is the exam painful?

No. Ultrasound is non-invasive and uses sound waves, not radiation. A warm gel is applied and the probe glides gently over the skin.

How long does it take?

Most abdominal studies take 30 to 45 minutes.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book any abdominal or renal study directly.

When will I get my results?

A board-certified radiologist reads your images and the written report is delivered within 24 hours — to you, and to your physician if you like.

Does insurance cover it?

We are flat-rate cash pay with no facility fees. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and we can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance yourself.
