Your PET Scan Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide
Preparation & Arrival
Follow fasting guidelines. Upon arrival, our team will review your medical history and a small blood sugar test will be performed.
Tracer Injection
A small, safe amount of a radioactive tracer (like FDG) is injected into a vein. This is painless.
Resting Period (Uptake Phase)
You will rest quietly for about 60 minutes in a comfortable room. This allows the tracer to circulate and be absorbed by your body’s cells.
The Scan
You’ll lie on a comfortable table that moves through the ring-shaped PET/CT scanner. The scan itself is silent and takes about 20-30 minutes.
Post-Scan & Reporting
After the scan, you can resume normal activities. Our radiologists will analyze the images, and you’ll receive the report within 24 hours.
Preparing for Your PET Scan
Patient Checklist & Guidelines
- Fasting is Crucial: Fast for at least 6-8 hours. You may drink plain water.
- No Sugar: Avoid sugar, carbohydrates, caffeine, and alcohol for 24 hours before the scan.
- Medications: Take your regular medications unless advised otherwise. Diabetic patients must consult us for specific instructions.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from heavy exercise for 24 hours prior to your scan.
- Bring Documents: Carry your doctor’s prescription, previous medical records, and a recent Serum Creatinine report.
- Dress Comfortably: Wear warm, comfortable clothing without metal zippers or buttons.
Why is a Serum Creatinine Report Needed?
A PET/CT scan often involves a contrast dye for the CT portion to enhance image clarity. This dye is eliminated from the body by the kidneys.
The Scientific Reason: The Serum Creatinine test measures kidney function. A normal creatinine level indicates that your kidneys are healthy and can safely process and flush out the contrast dye.
Patient Safety: This is a critical safety measure to prevent any potential kidney-related complications from the contrast agent. Your safety is our top priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PET Scan?
A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test. It uses a radioactive tracer to show how tissues and organs are functioning, helping to detect diseases like cancer, heart disease, and brain disorders at a cellular level.
How long does the entire PET scan procedure take?
The entire process, including preparation, tracer injection, resting period, and the scan itself, typically takes about 2 to 3 hours. The scan time is only about 20-30 minutes.
Is the PET scan painful or safe?
The scan is painless. The injection of the tracer feels like a simple blood draw. The amount of radiation from the tracer is very small and safe, decaying quickly and being eliminated from the body within a few hours.
When will I get my PET scan report?
At Henotic Diagnostics, we prioritize quick reporting. You will receive your digital report via WhatsApp and email within 24 hours, and often on the same day of your scan.
