Plan the visit with the right information

This guide answers common questions. Your prescription and referring clinician’s advice remain the basis for your examination.

1

Confirm the appointment

PET CT is appointment based. Call before travelling and keep the prescription available.

2

Follow fasting instructions

The required fasting period can vary. Follow the instructions given for your appointment.

3

Discuss diabetes

If you have diabetes, tell the team while booking so medicine and meal timing can be planned.

4

Allow enough time

PET CT visits include preparation and waiting periods in addition to the scan itself.

Before you visit

  • Bring your prescription, ID and previous PET CT, CT, MRI or biopsy reports.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise before the scan if instructed by the centre.

What to discuss before your PET CT appointment

Tell the nuclear medicine team about pregnancy or possible pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes, medicines and supplements, allergies, recent illness and any previous contrast reaction.

Preparation depends on the prescribed examination. Ask for clear instructions about food, drinks and medicines. If you have diabetes, arrange an individual plan for meal and medicine timing with the responsible team; do not make changes on your own. If you are breastfeeding, obtain specific instructions before the appointment.

Plan for the whole visit

The visit includes time for the injected tracer to be taken up before imaging, so scanner time is not the same as total appointment time. Confirm when to arrive, how long to allow and how you will receive your report. Ask about any instructions to follow after leaving.

For booking details, see PET CT service information or contact Adhiraj Imaging.
