The nuclear medicine radiologist will interpret the results of the scan and inform your child's doctor of the results. The results of the scan will then be available for you from your child's doctor. The scan is done in the Radiology Department in University Hospital East on the main floor. You may park in the garage across the street from the hospital. Bring your parking ticket with you.
Parking is free.
However, your ticket must be validated to qualify for free parking. Prior to the scan a small plastic needle called an IV is placed in the vein. Through this IV your child will be given a dose of a radioactive medicine compound which travels to the urinary system. The medicine compound gives off invisible rays, called gamma rays, as it travels through the kidneys, ureters and bladder. After the injection, your child will lie on a special x-ray table to have the scan performed.
