You sit in a chair, the guy puts on a pair of some sort of lead lined gloves and an apron, (god knows he cant get any on him) he reaches down into a cauldrin of sorts, draws the stuff into a syringe, then they inject it in you. Yeah, nothing could be bad about that,

but I had it done and I'm still normal, well, lets ask my wife.

No side effects that I know of, couldn't tell any difference in that and any of the other things they stick in us.

You'll do fine!

This was an easy test. I don't remember any side effects at all. It seems it wasn't long for the results either. Hope you have good results! (No neon green pee, sorry.)

Thanks for the responses!!
@drummerboy - glad to hear that you are still normal, well, figuratively speaking, of course:P
@lynn1950 - Dang! Green pee would have been so cool!

nope - I was lying on a table for about an hour, which is always uncomfortable. The plus side, I was able to do fully clothed.

nope, no side effects here, either. I was on the table kind but that's been over 10 years so may have changed. good luck, this one is actually the least invasive test you'll likely have (excluding the injection with the metal syringe so the tech doesn't get any stuff on him/her).

It's one of the easier scans to deal with, in my opinion. Like the others said they give you an injection, then you come back in a few hours .You lie on a table and a big panel thing over you slowly moves up and down your body. The only problem I had was that the technician told me to remove any metal items such as watches. About halfway through the scan I realized that I still had my wedding ring on. I almost had a panic attack (while continuing to lie still!) because I thought something bad would happen. The tech had left the room momentarily, so I started shouting out help! help! I have a ring on ! The tech sprinted back in, and assured me that wearing a ring was fine. It's pretty funny in retrospect.

In a word...No.

I had no side effects. You may have an alergy to the radio active stuff, but they wont know if you have never had it. I am not alergic and had no problems with it. I have had 3 pet scans that also use it and 1 bone scan. good luck. It's a good time to sleep.

Easiest test of all and no noteworthy sci-fi events. Sorry.

I had one once, in 24 years of procedures thats all. Was painless, took a while and I had to stay still. That was the hardest part. I can't sit still.
