PET/CT is a lengthy and complex examination that is performed at a pre-arranged time. It is important for patients to arrive punctually for their scheduled appointment. Patients must bring their medical history and documents with them.
On the day of the examination, eating is not allowed, but it is recommended to consume unsweetened and non-carbonated mineral water/water in abundance. It is FORBIDDEN to consume any candy, chewing gum, coffee, soft drinks, or tea on the day of the examination! Patients should take their regular medications as usual, except for the types of insulin used by diabetes patients. The dosage of these medications should always be coordinated with the colleagues. Insulin administration should occur at least 4 hours before the administration of the radiopharmaceutical. The required blood sugar level for the examination is 4-11 mmol/l; in case of high blood sugar levels, the examination may be postponed to a later date as high blood sugar levels can result in false data.
In the 72 hours prior to the examination, it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity. In case of pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy, the examination cannot be performed.
The examination of breastfeeding mothers requires prior consultation with a specialist.
After the intravenous administration of the radiopharmaceutical, it is necessary to rest in a designated room for approximately 40-50 minutes in a state of calm, avoiding any physical activity (e.g., reading, walking, talking, using the phone, etc.). Prior to the PET/CT examination, oral contrast material may also be administered, which should be consumed mixed with water during the waiting period. After the waiting period, the examination will be performed with an empty bladder, so immediately before the examination, the person being examined will be asked to empty their bladder. The examination is painless, does not involve physical exertion, and does not involve significant noise exposure.
The examination takes approximately 25-30 minutes, during which the person being examined must lie still on the examination bed, keeping their arms by their side or above their head depending on the nature of the examination. After the examination, the patient can eat and drink anything.
In order to ensure the protection of individuals under the age of 18 and pregnant women, it is important to avoid close contact or physical contact (breastfeeding, hugging, co-sleeping, etc.) with them for 24 hours following the examination.
The examination results will be sent to the patient's home address and can also be found on the EESZT platform.
