If a person drinks a small amount of water before a hida scan can that create a false positive.

OK: You should be fine. That should not create a false positive hida scan.

No: Water is not problem. Ingestion of foods particulary containing fat can distort results. Medications prior to study may also affect contraction of gall bladder.
