This test provides a picture of the pelvic region. The
scan is safe and painless. There is no radiation involved.
When you were referred by your physician for a radiological exam, you
may have been told about certain instructions to be done prior to the
exam, or when you were scheduling your appointment, the scheduler should
have informed you about the preparations that should be done prior to
your exam. If you did not or if you want a recheck, you can refer to the
information listed below.
Keep in
mind that you may have been given some additional or different
instructions, based on your own particular circumstances. If you have
any questions, please call our hotline 16171 or (202) 3336-3310 (Mohandeseen),
(202) 2417 5556 (Heliopolis) or (202) 2528 4888 (Maadi) to speak with a
radiologist if you have any questions. It is best to call between 10

This examination takes
approximately 20 minutes.
You may be asked to change into a gown and provide us with a brief
history. You will then be placed on a stretcher and a water-based gel
will be spread over your pelvic area. This gel helps to provide us with
quality images. A plastic device called a transducer will be moved back
and forth over your pelvis to obtain the images necessary to answer your
physician's questions.
