It is amongst a few imaging tools for which some limits have been imposed— currently, there are about three follow-up PET scans per individual, even when the doctors have only ordered them after detecting an anomaly on computed tomography (CT) scan.
It is seen that drinking plenty of the fluid post scan would help in flushing the radioactive material from the body.
As a precautionary measure, you are also advised to avoid any prolonged close contact with any pregnant women, with any babies or any young children for at least few hours after the PET scan, as one might be slightly radioactive during this period of time.
The images can be reviewed along with the appropriate medical history, any other imaging technique, reported by Ganesh Diagnostic and Imaging Center by the Nuclear Medicine Radiologist or the Nuclear Medicine Physician.
