Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast for my liver cancer screening?

Yes, you are required to fast for 6 hours if you are doing an ultrasound liver test. This means only plain water is allowed.

If you are only doing a lipid panel blood test alone, you are not required to fast.

Why do I need to fast before my ultrasound liver test?

In order for us to achieve a clear image of your liver, it is best to not have presence of any food. Thus, fasting will ensure the optimal accuracy for your ultrasound liver test.
