What does the scan involve?
The scan is performed transabdominally (on the top of your tummy) with a full bladder.
You will be asked to stop eating 5 hours prior to your scan appointment, but will be asked to drink 2 to 3 cups of water an hour before your scan.
Your pelvis will be scaned first and you will then be asked to empty your bladder in order that your are comfortable for the upper abdominal scan.
