Treadmill

  • Purpose of Test:

    Non-evasive sonogram evaluating the major organs of the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and large vessels.
  • What to Expext During Procedure:

    Do not eat or drink for three hours prior to the procedure. This reduces the likelihood of nausea that may accompany strenuous exercise after a heavy meal. Diabetics, particularly those who use insulin, will need special instructions from the physician's office.

    Specific heart medicines may need to be stopped one or two days prior to the test. Such instructions are generally provided when the test is scheduled.

    Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are suitable for exercise.
  • When Results will be Available:

    The physician conducting the test will be able to give you the preliminary results before you leave the exercise laboratory. However, the official result may take a few days to complete.
