why is it prohibited to eat or drink anything prior to x-ray or any imaging procedure?
Pramiti Kumari Answered question August 27, 2024
It is often prohibited to eat or drink before an X-ray or imaging procedure to ensure accurate results. Consuming food or liquids can affect the positioning of organs and the contrast between tissues, which might obscure or distort the images. For procedures like abdominal or pelvic X-rays, it can also help to avoid interference from digestive contents or gas, leading to clearer and more precise diagnostic images.
