Pregnant women must only have a scan in an emergency only. The radiation can harm the baby.
Women who are breastfeeding must inform the radiographer a few days before the scan as the patient needs to stop breastfeeding for a couple of days.
Exposure to radiation during the PET Scan slightly increases the risk of developing cancer in the future.
Patient may experience small bruising around the area where the needle is put in.
