      Do I need to fast before a scan?

      The contents of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract can influence the result of the BIA

      The contents of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract can influence the result of the BIA scan so it is recommended that for the most accurate and reliable results, the scan be undertaken with an empty stomach.  It is not a compulsory requirement of the BIA scan to fast for an extended duration prior to the scan, rather, we recommend you participate in any follow up scans with as close to the conditions as your original scan as possible.
