Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 How do they do a whole body scan? Do they give you radioactive iodine for this and if so how much? Do you have to go into isolation after a whole body scan? Can you be near children after a whole body scan? Thanks! jo (Toronto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 I'm having one tomorrow jo. You don't go into isolation. They do give you a small diagnostic dose of RAI but you can be near children after, yes. Kim, your neighbour in Kingston!
