Its a simple procedure (from a patients point of view) Painless and quite straightforward. The aperture on the scanner is MUCH larger than an MRI scanner so there's less reason to be concerned if you are worried about tight spaces. And of course, it is virtually silent, there's not of that loud banging like there is with the MRI.
Amer Thank you ,very well presented, I did not have a problem with the background music , but that would depend on what device one was listening on Thanks again .
I LIKED THIS VIDEO BUT I BEG ALL PERSONS WHO MAKE THESE VIDEOS TO NOT PLAY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND. WE NEED TO HEAR THE PERSON TALKING. NOT THE OVERPOWERING IRRITATING MUSIC. JUST SILENCE IN THE BACK GROUND. I HOPE YOU CAN GET THISESSAGE ACROSS TO OTHERS. EVERYWHERE YOU GO IT IS ANNOYING. HOSPITALS PLAYING AGRIVATING MUSIC CONTINUALLY. IT IS AWFUL. WE NEE PEACE AND QUIET TO GET WELL
I had a Pet Scan 3 days ago. After the shot I was left in the recliner 45 minutes with the light off. The CT and PET scans only took 15 minutes. Mine was from base of my skull... chest and abdomen. I had one several years ago too.
Live in the Netherlands. I also got a pet scan. After the injection i have to lay in bed. Not moving at all. No reading was alowed. I had to stay in the bed for 1 hour.
A different type of scan.. MRI uses a large magnet and radio waves to scan the body without using any radiation... CT scans use X-Rays which does give a very low dose of (ionizing) radiation...
Yeah, I had to have a double dose of isotope and a double dose of xrays because the idiot operating the machine at the "teaching hospital" was left unsupervised, and they didn't bother to tell me I was paying full price for a trainee, apparently doesn't know where the human abdomen is and was xraying my lungs and upper chest. Great. Not even an apology either.
Hey @REIronminer thanks for your comment. We understand our patients can feel anxious about having a PET scan, but we do our best to support them through it. Let's talk about what the PET scan involves. Our patients will be lying down on a comfortable bed, and the scanner is open at both ends, so they won't be completely enclosed. The procedure itself is painless and the actual scanning time is relatively quick, typically around 30 minutes. Our medical staff will be right there with our patient the whole time, monitoring them closely. If you have experienced claustrophobia in the past, please inform the technologist as they can take steps to minimise this. If they ever feel uncomfortable or need a break, they'll be ready to assist immediately.

I’ll be heading to the clinic shortly for a PET - it’s good to have this information before I go. Really puts my mind at ease. 5:42
Did you get your results. Is everything ok

Very helpful. Thank you. The banging of the MRI was very freaky. Nice to know the scanner won't be so small
Thanks for the upload and the information. Lets me know what to expect next week.
Thanks for the comment on the time it takes.
Amer Thank you ,very well presented, I did not have a problem with the background music , but that would depend on what device one was listening on Thanks again .
The music is ridiculously loud and drowns out the very useful information offered in this video.
I agree lose the music.
Thanks for this explanation ❤
Its nothing. Im gonna go again soon to see for my " Brest Cancer Progress" it helps to take a Zannex though.
My Place had no music. Verry Pleasant People.
next time....cut the music....too loud!!
Does a PET Scan check the entire body from head to toe? Does it tell fair and square whether a person has cancer or not?

Can this scan be done if you have a spinal chord stimulator?
I had a Pet Scan a month ago. After the shot , I was only left sitting for fifteen minutes before being tested? That does not seem like enough time?

I go Monday for mine pet scan!
The so-called music is totally annoying!!!!
Background music too loud
music is drowning you out
Couldn't understand after injection is the wait 15 min or 50 min? Thank you
50
Don't need the friggen Music
After the injection, I had to wait 15-20 minutes. Then the actual PET Scan took another 45 minutes !
Thank you for the information
Are you alive?
@@yamnayaseed356 super rude
Live in the Netherlands.
I also got a pet scan.
After the injection i have to lay in bed. Not moving at all. No reading was alowed. I had to stay in the bed for 1 hour.
So? Ur not dead right?
Can’t believe how awful the music is ,can’t hear the voice !
I love the music. What band was that ?
I want to know why cancer tissue or cells love sugar?
I've heard that if people have cancer they should stop all intake of sugar.....because cancer thrives on sugar......
Sugar is primary source of energy for them. They divide actively, so they need more energy as compared to normal cells.
Now I want to know why oncologists are clueless when it comes to diet. Linus Pauling is rolling in his grave.
I think oncology residents be required to attend 4 semesters of diet and alternative cancer treatments.
@@ExtremeRecluse Exactly!!
Tomorrow I have to go for PET scan....
Is there any sound in the machine....
Is machine produce loud noise like MRI scan...pls tell
Hi @sumitgupta8686 a PET scan is not particularly noisy but you’ll hear a constant background noise, nothing like an MRI. Hope that helps.
So a pet scan isn't like a mri?
A different type of scan.. MRI uses a large magnet and radio waves to scan the body without using any radiation... CT scans use X-Rays which does give a very low dose of (ionizing) radiation...
This background music adds nothing and makes the instructions difficult to understand
I am going to have a pte tomorrow
PET Scan is how it's spelled correctly 😁.
Yeah, I had to have a double dose of isotope and a double dose of xrays because the idiot operating the machine at the "teaching hospital" was left unsupervised, and they didn't bother to tell me I was paying full price for a trainee, apparently doesn't know where the human abdomen is and was xraying my lungs and upper chest.
Great.
Not even an apology either.
get a lawyer for malpractice
Cannot stand the music!
Prize please
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
