Can I eat or drink before a procedure?

Asked a year ago
It is generally recommended to avoid eating or drinking for a certain period of time before undergoing a medical imaging procedure. The specific instructions may vary depending on the type of procedure you are scheduled for, so it is important to follow the guidelines provided to you by your healthcare provider or imaging center. In many cases, you may be advised to abstain from food and drinks for several hours prior to the examination to ensure accurate results. This is because certain foods and liquids can interfere with the imaging process, affecting the clarity of the images obtained. It is crucial to discuss any concerns or dietary restrictions you may have with your healthcare provider to optimize the accuracy and effectiveness of the procedure.
