Getting a ct scan done, was told no food 4 hrs prior but forgot to ask about liquids? should those be stopped too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lite drinks are fine: Water and juice would be fine. I would stay away from alcoholic beverages or caffeine. Mainly to help reduce any potential nausea you may have as a result of contrast administration.
