procedures.
A test name on a referral can leave you with questions. Start here for preparation, the appointment itself and getting your report.
Laboratory
Blood tests
Do you need to fast? What happens when the sample is taken? How do you get your results?
Imaging
Ultrasound scan
Preparation depends on the type of scan. Check the appointment instructions before you travel.
MRI scan
Safety screening, contrast questions and what to expect inside the scanner.
Heart tests
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
A resting ECG, portable recording and exercise test are different appointments. Know which one was requested.
Check the service before you travel
A directory listing does not confirm that a branch offers your test. Call with the request and ask about availability.
