Can I eat or drink before a procedure?

Whether you can eat or drink before a procedure at Focus Medical Imaging depends on the specific type of procedure you will be undergoing. For certain imaging tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans, it is usually advised to refrain from eating or drinking for several hours prior to the appointment. This is particularly important if you will be receiving contrast material, as food or beverages may interfere with the results or the administration of the contrast agent. However, some procedures may not have specific guidelines regarding food and drink restrictions. Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructions provided during your appointment scheduling or outlined in any pre-procedure documentation.
