PET and CT Scans

Within a few days, I was back at the hospital's radiology department for the subject scans. Approximately one hour after drinking something to help show certain areas in the scans, I was brought to the scanning lab.

The equipment used for the scans was very similiar to an MRI machine. For one of the scans, I was given an IV of F-18 FDG for imaging procedures.

This was right before the big Memorial Day (summer kickoff) weekend and I was told that the reports would be read by the next morning.
