* Fast: This means not eating or drinking anything for a certain period of time before the scan. This is to ensure an empty stomach and clear images.
* Drink water: Sometimes, they might ask you to drink water to help the contrast material flow through your system, making the images clearer.
* Drink contrast material: In some cases, a contrast agent might be given orally or intravenously to highlight certain structures or organs in the scan. This is usually a flavored liquid that might taste slightly sweet or metallic.
It's important to talk to your doctor about specific instructions for your scan. They will inform you about any necessary preparations, including what to eat or drink before the procedure.
