We usually ask you not eat 4 to 8 hours prior to getting a CT scan of anything in the abdominal or pelvic area. (the time difference depends on protocol of your doctor and the place doing the CT scan) There are exceptions and depends on what the doctor wants to see. You may always call the place doing your CT and talk to the CT technologist. (the person who answers the phone may not know)
