  5. Stay out of strong sunlight on the day of test. You can NOT be scanned if you are sunburned.
  6. Eat normally and take your medicines on the day of your scan but avoid excessively hot or cold drinks immediately prior to the test
  7. Loose fitting clothes are best,  if possible. We will have clean gowns available for easy access to the area to be scanned.
