No, it is generally advised to avoid consuming coffee before a neck and chest CT scan. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
That's typically facility dependent. If the scan is to be with IV contrast, the contrast material can cause nausea....unpredictable. I'd say call the facility and see what their guidelines are.
Yes, you may.

Yes, you can drink coffee. It will not negatively impact your CT scan.
Black coffee is fine. No sugar or dairy.
