Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. Nuclear medicine investigations are routinely performed to assess function, detect disease early, or monitor response to therapy. This research will provide your doctor with useful information to help establish the best treatment approach for your symptoms and concerns.
Your nuclear medicine team will provide you with particular instructions for the sort of study you are undergoing. Certain tests may require fasting or additional preparation. You will receive specific instructions regarding medication changes and what to expect throughout the study.
Procedure timings depend on the type of study. Some examinations may take from 30 to 60 minutes, while other studies may require repeated imaging sessions over several hours. Your nuclear medicine team will provide you with precise advice about the length of your study.
Nuclear medicine treatments involve the use of small amounts of radioactive materials which are carefully chosen and delivered to reduce radiation exposure and provide diagnostic-quality images. The benefits of an accurate diagnosis generally far outweigh the modest risks. Your nuclear medicine team follows strict safety standards to keep you safe throughout all treatments.
In most nuclear medicine studies, a family member may accompany the patient to the appointment but will not be allowed to remain during imaging due to radiation safety concerns. Your nuclear medicine team will give you specific instructions based on the type of investigation you are having and your safety needs.
