The size of the aorta is measured during this test. Your physician may order this test due to a known or suspected aneurysm (a weak area in the wall of the artery that expands or bulges).\n<p><strong>Prep:<\/strong>\u00a0 Do not eat or drink after midnight the day before the test. Do not smoke or chew gum. If you are diabetic, you may have a light breakfast and take your insulin. You should take your medications with small sips of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to Expect:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0You will be asked to remove your clothing above the waist and will be given a gown to wear. You will be asked to lie on your back and may be asked to change positions during the testing. Utilizing a probe, the technologist will scan your abdomen to obtain different views of your aorta.<\/p>\n<p>The test will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete. You may resume your normal activities following the test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69f387d400cd4 {margin-top: 135px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69f387d400cd4\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":597,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3972","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3972"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3973,"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3972\/revisions\/3973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahvmed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
