Can you wear a bra during echo-cardiogram?

Generally, you are asked to remove all clothing and jewelries above your waist for an echocardiogram. This includes removing your bra, as it can interfere with the placement of the ultrasound transducer and the quality of the images obtained.

Depending on the specific protocol and preferences of the healthcare facility or medical professional conducting the echocardiogram, you may be provided with a hospital gown or drape to cover your chest during the procedure. This is done to ensure clear access to the chest area and to maintain privacy.
