- Comfortable and affordable clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing that facilitates access to the study area. It can be a garment with buttons or zippers for easy access to the abdomen, back, or other areas.
- Prior consultation with the doctor: It is important to discuss all current medical problems, medications, and medical history so that the doctor can adequately prepare for the procedure.
- Ensuring suitable conditions at the ultrasound site: Prepare a quiet and private place in the house where you can comfortably conduct the examination. It should have sufficient lighting and space to place the equipment.
Importantly! An EasyMed specialist will additionally notify the patient of the necessary actions and restrictions before the procedure before the ultrasound.

The process of performing ultrasound at home

Using the sensor, the specialist guides it through the study area, obtaining images of internal organs and structures.
Importantly! The quality of ultrasound images and the accuracy of diagnostics largely depend on the experience and qualification of the specialist, as well as on the modernity of the equipment used. We cooperate only with the best clinics and are confident in the quality of the tests performed.
