Fasting before USG

2022-12-05 05:29:13
Why is it required to do fasting before USG ? Is it due to let the GallBladder filled with bile so that it can be visible properly in the scan ? And I have another followup question. Why is it advised to take ample water before the procedure as well ? What are the areas required to be well dilated for better scan ? Thank You in advance.
