Radiation from this package's imaging
About 0.8 mSv from the tests we could identify, a typical adult dose for these exams: roughly 4 months of natural background radiation (about 3 mSv a year, US average).
This package also lists 15 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- Abdominal X-ray (KUB) · about 0.7 mSv
- Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
Typical doses from published references (RadiologyInfo.org ↗, Mettler et al. 2008 ↗); the actual dose depends on the scanner and protocol. Ask the center for its own figure.

General preparation notes for 12 tests in this package
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.
Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.
Guaiac-based kits usually ask you to avoid red meat, NSAIDs and more than 250mg of vitamin C for a few days beforehand; FIT kits usually need no diet change.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which kit you were given, and ask the prescribing doctor before stopping aspirin taken for the heart.
Usually needs a clean-catch (midstream) sample; some tests instead ask you to collect all urine passed over 24 hours.
Mention when booking: Ask which specific urine test your provider ordered, since collection instructions vary by test.
Usually asks for no smoking for 24 hours, no heavy meals for at least 2 hours, and no alcohol for at least 4 hours beforehand; wear loose clothing.
Mention when booking: Mention a recent heart attack, stroke or surgery, a chest infection, heart problems or uncontrolled blood pressure; ask whether to bring or hold your usual inhaler.
Usually needs no fasting; you remove jewelry, metal objects and sometimes clothing above the waist for a hospital gown.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs about 6 hours without food beforehand; clear fluids other than milk or fizzy drinks are commonly still allowed. Loose, comfortable clothing is easiest.
Mention when booking: Mention if you have type 1 diabetes, so the center can offer an early appointment time.
Usually needs a clear-liquid diet the day before and a split-dose bowel-cleansing prep taken the evening before and morning of the exam; drinking extra fluids helps avoid dehydration.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart, kidney or lung disease, blood thinners, diabetes medicine, aspirin, arthritis medicine or iron; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, operating machinery or signing legal documents for the rest of the day; someone should take you home.
Usually needs about 8 hours without food or drink, including water, beforehand.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart or lung disease, aspirin, blood thinners, arthritis medicine, insulin or iron, and ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, machinery or legal documents that day; get a ride home. Contact a doctor for fever, trouble swallowing, chest or belly pain, or black stools; bleeding can start days later.
Usually asks that you avoid intercourse, douching and tampons for 24 hours beforehand, and avoid scheduling during your period if possible.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are having unexpected bleeding, think you might be pregnant, or have had an abnormal Pap or positive HPV test before.
Afterwards: Light bleeding or spotting afterward is common and usually stops within a few hours.
