Why are there Preparations for a PET Scan?
When arriving for an appointment there are many factors that can contribute to the ease and quality of images captured during a PET Scan procedure. With the specialty doses used during a PET Scan, there are requirements for when one must arrive and what you can eat or drink prior to your appointment.
The Preps:
1) Do not eat or drink anything for 4 hours prior to your appointment, except for plain water!
2) Do not eat or drink anything caffeinated or exercise for 24 hours prior to your appointment
3) Please bring any prior notes, reports, and scans from your doctor to your appointment
4) Leave your metallic fashion or clothing at home

After having several individuals volunteer to speak about PET Imaging Institute, we were able to compile this video which includes the highlights of all involved.
I never got a snack
Can you bring your own music? I want to bring a meditation audio.
Thank you for the video because my doctor did not mentioned caffeine because I was drinking green tea
F the pet scan ive already undergone ct that's it! I refuse this bs. I'm definitely refusing all treatment and 8 3rd MRI nope
Can you detect infections? Or leukemia?
See.. my doctor never even inform me any of these..
Panic attacks are usually more amenable to modification than cancer
NO COFFEE FOR 24 hours!!! OHH NO!
Watching this 3 hours before my scheduled PET
Still haven't been told how to prepare
I’m terrified of MRI and this looks like an open MRI . I cannot do one of these
It isn't as narrow or long and doesn't make the same nasty noise
@@cassieoz1702. That’s what I wanted to know. Thanks. I’ve needed Ativan to get through an mri but not for a Lexi scan. As long as they don’t put that awful cage over my face 😅.
I wish I lived in Florida. NY Healthcare is a JOKE.
We couldn't find instructions on diet in our paper work thank you for this summary as I know every person should talk to their doctor but this helped us remember what he already told us todo
Pooooy

What about medications? If you’re on meds can you take them on the morning of the test?
I have panic attacks 🙃 oh 👎
So do they always give some type of “sugar in IV”? Exactly what is in IV. If not diabetic do you still have some product with sugar in it?
They always ask about diabetes and meds, and usually check your blood glucose level before they start. It's radioactive labelled glucose, very small dose and no other way to do it. It's the glucose that's taken up by cancer cells
"special sugar" lol
No kidding, radioactive sugar.
when I went to Pembroke I freaked out and was claustrophobic had to leave without getting scanned :( would be nice if the tube wasn't so long !!
Hi my question is regarding the cardiac pet scan stress test. How long does that one take, meaning how long do I have to lie still on the table and will my arms and head be out? Will I be able to be sedated? Is it possible to have the test broken up into 2 seperate parts under the scanner so that I can move and get a break in between sections? Thank you!!!
Very well thought out video. Im sure this has helped many patients with upcoming scans. The 690 looks great also.
How about not eating sugar how come my pet technician told me I can't eat sugar for 24 hours and this video didn't
Between 20-30 seconds of video it specifically No Sweet or Sugary or Caffeine product, Only Water!
That part only said not eating or drinking anything that contained caffeine for 24 hours before .. did not say sugar.. again. So the question was understandable to me.
he said it at 27.5 seconds
@@roseinharlem8152 Umm .. are we watching the same video? He did say. The exact quote he said was "... mints, candy, gum .. anything that could have sugar or calories in it should be avoided"
You are wrong
The snacks are a really nice touch!
I’m happy to finally see a video which will aid our patients in preparing for their PET/CT Scan. We want to provide them with the most accurate results and strive to make their experience as pleasant as possible. We are here to help and our patients are our top priority!
Love the video. Clear, concise and informative.
Excellent informative video! Only a 10 min scan! Thats fast!
Thank you, Scott!
Nice job clarifying that this isn't a scan for pets, but a PET scan for cancer patients, among other things! The Center looks beautiful!
