Test Preparation
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guideline:
Fasting Requirement
• No fasting is required, but in some cases, doctors may ask you to avoid eating or drinking for 4-6 hours before the test for better image clarity.
Bowel Preparation (If Advised by Doctor)
• Some patients may need a laxative or enema before the test to clear gas and stool, which can obstruct the view.
• Avoid gas-producing foods (beans, dairy, carbonated drinks) the night before the test.
Clothing & Accessories
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal zippers, buttons, or belts.
• Remove jewelry, piercings, and any metal objects before the scan.
Medical Conditions & Pregnancy
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, as X-rays involve radiation exposure.
• If needed, a lead apron will be provided for radiation protection.
Motion & Positioning Instructions
• You will be asked to stand upright against an X-ray board.
• Stay still and hold your breath for a few seconds to prevent blurry images
