What is a PET scan?

A PET scan, or Positron Emission Tomography scan, is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows doctors to see how your organs and tissues are functioning. It uses a small amount of radioactive material to help identify abnormalities in your body, making it particularly useful for early diagnosis of conditions like cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders.

How should I prepare for a PET scan?

Preparing for a PET scan typically involves fasting for several hours prior to the procedure, although you should consult with your physician for specific instructions. It's essential to avoid strenuous exercise, and you may be asked to refrain from caffeine and nicotine. Discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor prior to the scan.

Is a PET scan safe?

Yes, a PET scan is considered safe. The amount of radiation exposure from a PET scan is comparable to that of a traditional CT scan and is well within safe limits. The radioactive material used in the scan is also eliminated from your body relatively quickly.

How long does a PET scan take?

The actual imaging part of a PET scan typically takes about 30 minutes. However, including the preparation and waiting time for the radioactive material to circulate in your body, the entire process may take several hours.

What can I expect during a PET scan?

During a PET scan, you will lie on a table that slides into the PET scanner. The scanner itself is a large, round machine that detects the emitted radiation from the radioactive material in your body. You will need to stay still during the scan, which usually lasts around 30 minutes.
