Do I need to fast for the MRI procedure?

Patient Preperation

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
Some specific scans like abdomen/liver scans require fasting. This reduces anatomy obstruction and artifacts. Please follow the preparation instructions provided by the Radiology staff. If fasting is required, do not eat or drink 4 hours prior to your exam. If required, small amount of plain water is allowed.
