Back To All Exams

Diagnostic Breast and Axilla Ultrasound

  • It is suggested that you wear a two-piece outfit, so you can change into your robe more easily.
  • Do not use deodorant, body powder, or lotion before exam.
  • If possible, refrain from caffeine for 2 days before your exam to minimize discomfort during compression (this includes chocolate, pop, tea, decaffeinated beverages, protein powders, vitamin water, etc.).
  • Please arrive 15 minutes early, bring your requisition (unless your physician already submitted it on your behalf), Alberta Health Care card (or out-of-town province health care card), and photo identification with you to your exam!

Did you know, patients who forget their requisition will likely have to defer their exam?
