Your Intestinal Ultrasound Appointment

What to expect at your Intestinal Ultrasound appointment

Preparing for your appointment

Preparing for an IUS is easy. In most cases, no special preparation like fasting is needed, although some patients might be asked to arrive with a full bladder.

What happens during the procedure?

IUS takes 15-20 minutes and is done in a clinic setting.

Ultrasound gel is applied to the abdomen and a probe moved over the skin, which bounces soundwaves off the targeted organs to visualise the small and large bowel via images on a screen.

It is completely non-invasive, the procedure is not painful and there are no side effects. There is no radiation involved.
