Details.
Uses a small amount of radiopharmaceutical tracer, most commonly given by injection, followed by imaging with a specialised camera to show how organs and tissues are functioning. The study is reviewed and a report is provided to your referring practitioner. Preparation varies by scan type and may include fasting or medication changes. Some studies include a waiting period between tracer administration and imaging, or a return visit later the same day. Please advise the team if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
