Ultrasound kidney scan

I've had a letter through for this it says I might be asked to put a hospital gown on?
Has anyone had one and had to wear a gown? I don't understand. Surely you don't have to take your clothes off for this? I don't want to

I have had lots of these. Sometimes given a gown and sometimes not. I think it is more so they don't get the gel on your clothes. If you aren't happy wearing one, just explain, and I'm sure you can just lift your top instead.

Where I worked it was just pull your top up. Same with my ds who has yearly kidney scans. Talk to someone when you get there I'm sure they will let you just lift your top

It's often ultrasound of kidney, ureters & bladder, for which you would need your lower back, hips & lower abdomen uncovered. To you know what they're looking for?

It's just kidneys

No. Didn’t need to wear a gown for mine.
