How to Prepare for the Test?
This test may require an overnight stay in the hospital. You must sign an informed consent form.
Fasting is required for 6 to 12 hours before the test. You may be advised to avoid aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen before the procedure. Always check with your health care provider before changing or discontinuing any medications.
Arrange for transportation to and from the hospital. Many people want to rest the following day, so make arrangements for work, child care, or other obligations.
