NUCLEAR MEDICINE

PREPARATION

Please bring along all of your previous examination films for comparison.

Appointment is necessary and can be made by calling the location where the service is available.

As the developing embryo is much more sensitive to x-radiation exposure, patients must inform the radiographer or physician, prior to any x-ray examination if there is any possibility of pregnancy.

No special preparation is required.

PET SCAN

PREPARATION

	PET is usually done on an outpatient basis.
	At the time of scheduling please inform the staff about current medication you are taking and if you have diabetes, are pregnant/nursing or claustrophic.
	Bring along all your previous x-rays, ultrasound, CT or MRI films and any blood test reports.
	Wear comfortable clothing.
	Leave jewellery at home.
	Do not eat any caloric food for at least six hours before your scan. You are encouraged to drink more water. Please avoid all drinks with caffeine and sugar.
	Try not to smoke on the day of the scan.
	There should be no change in your medication.
	Diabetic patients need to regulate their blood glucose level to normal and must expect longer stay in the department.
	You can expect to be at the department for two to three hours. The actual scan itself takes far less time.
	Please be punctual. If you need to reschedule, notification must be given 48 hours in advance. This is because the radioactive tracer is expensive and is produced according to the number of scheduled patients.
