Do not eat solid foods 4 hours prior to exam. Clear liquids and medications are allowed up to 2 hours before exam. Patients need to drink a barium contrast (a liquid that shows the intestines) at least one hour prior to the appointment. We prefer that you obtain the contrast from the Center one day in advance so that you may begin to drink it at home prior to the appointment. Patients must arrive two hours prior to the appointment if they cannot obtain the contrast in advance.
Please bring all related films for our radiologist to review.
