[Dysphagia] Vfss/mbss preparation

Hi All,
What do your facilities say to patients in preparation for modifieds/videos?
E.g., do they ask them to fast for x number of hours prior?  Just wondering
what the general consensus on preparation is.
I have never had anyone refrain from anything oral or enteral prior to a
study, but the radiology tech/mgr just emailed me stating we should have
patients fast for 12 hours prior to the procedure.
What say you all to this?
Thanks,
Kim
