Ultrasound Scrotum

Planning ahead:

• Arrive at the hospital 30 minutes before your exam is scheduled. (Ask the scheduler what time that is.)

Bring with you to the hospital:

• Complete list of medications you are currently taking – name and dosage of each medication, and when you take it.
• Written physician’s order for the exam.

On the day of your exam:

• Come in through the main entrance of Mon Health Medical Center and go to the Radiology Services registration desk, down the hallway to the right of the lobby.
• Plan to be at the hospital for approximately one and a half hours.

During your exam:

• The technologist will ensure patient privacy for this exam. You will be asked to lower your pants to your knees. Towels will be used to cover private parts.
• The technologist will apply a gel to the scrotal area and obtain images.

After your exam:

• To receive the results of your ultrasound, contact your physician who ordered the exam. Your technologist cannot give you any results.
