After your PET scan, a very small amount of the radiotracer will remain in your body. So, be sure to drink plenty of water to help flush it out of your system. You may eat and use the restroom as usual after your scan. A specialist will review your PET scan and share the results with your doctor.
How the Test will Feel. You may feel a sharp sting when the needle with the tracer is placed into your vein. A PET scan causes no pain.
Although the scan you received involved injection of a radioactive substance, which can lead to radiation exposure of persons in your vicinity, the amount of radiation coming from you following the scan is low. 2. You should avoid exposure to small children or pregnant women for six (6) hours.
You will be isolated for another 30 minutes, after the scan. Light refreshments will be served during this isolation period. Drink plenty of water after the scan. The PET-CT report will usually be ready within 48 hours.
For example, a lung cancer screening CT scan can show us a nodule in the lung. We can see how big it is and what its made of (fat, soft tissue, etc.), but we dont know if the tumor is active. PET scans look for metabolic activity within cells. This helps us know if the tumor is growing or the cancer has spread.
