A member asked:

How much nudity is involved during a kidney scan?

Dr. Eric Wang answered

Shirtless...?: Scanning the kidneys with ultrasound will require one to expose the mid-abdomen and directly touch the skin with the us probe and gel. For ct or mri, one will most likely be wearing a hospital gown.
