I have to have a scan for suspected NAFLD. I have received the appointment - 4.30pm and a diet sheet.
I am to eat nothing after 10 am and have no fat at all on the day - including eggs, milk in coffee, oily fish, nor bread.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

After having said that, recent studies have suggested that starving makes no difference at all to the accuracy of interpretation.
