In most cases you will be sent an appointment letter by post.

We require patients to arrive at least 30 minutes before their examination. It is important that patients inform us well in advance (at least three working days) of any cancellation. Patient doses and appointment times are not always flexible due to the nature of the test.
Patients will be contacted well before their examination to confirm their appointment.and at that time you will be asked a few questions about your medical history.

You will be asked to fill out and sign a form. It is important to answer these questions accurately. It will assist our Doctors to report the PET/CT scan.

You will be asked to remove any loose metal objects, credit cards and watches. Patients will need to change into a gown. This is mainly to ensure there are no metal items such as zips buttons etc. that may impair scan quality.

Your belongings will be kept safely.

The radiographer will take you into the scan room and perform the scan.
After your scan you will be offered something to drink and are free to go home.
