What to Expect
You will receive an injection of a radioactive material into a vein in your arm. After 5 minutes has passed, your first set of images will take place. You will be required to lie still on your back on the exam table while the images are taken. The first set of images will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Additional imaging will then be performed 2 hours later.
