Pet/ct & Mri

[Guest guest]

:

Pet / ct & mri are not major in the stress dept. the worst part is

drinking the white stuff first for contrast. I had the Cat first, 1-

1/2 hour prep time and cat was only about 15min. Next day I had the

Pet. had to go for the injection 2 hours before then when I arrived

for the pet they gave me another injection and took a nap for about

an hour or so. then the cat scan took about and hour.

Hardest part of the scans is keeping your arms above your head for

the doration of the scan.
