Men – Nearly all men have the scan in their underwear, though if you prefer you can ask for a hospital gown. You can get changed in privacy behind a curtain.

Women – You will be asked to change into a hospital gown in a curtained changing area for privacy. Underneath the gown you should remove all clothing except underpants. You can wear a non-wired bra (eg, a sports bra) but not a traditional wired bra. Alternatively, both men and women can wear loose-fitting sports clothing with no metal attachments or zips, such as cotton shorts and a sports top.

Alternatively you can wear loose-fitting gym gear, such as light shorts and a T-shirt.
