    Thyroid scans involve giving iodine or technetium and waiting 3 hours before imaging to detect abnormalities. Gastrointestinal studies use barium or soy to visualize the tract and check for obstructions seen as chalky white stools. Endoscopy involves fasting after midnight and positioning on the left side to facilitate insertion of the endoscope into the esophagus and descending duodenum.
