Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For an abdominal ultrasound, patients are often required to fast for a period (usually 8-12 hours) before the procedure to reduce the amount of gas in the stomach and intestines and to ensure that the gallbladder is filled with bile, which makes it easier to visualize and assess. This is why no breakfast on the morning of the examination is typically advised. For pelvic or fetal ultrasounds, fasting is not usually necessary, as the focus is on organs and structures that are not significantly affected by the presence of food or liquid in the stomach.
