I have a PET/CT combo scan coming up on the 2nd. I have had 1 PET and several CTs but never the combo. I did some reading. I know it's one machine, (I believe my original PET, over a yr ago, was done on one capable of doing combo). I know about the radioactive dye and wait time after, etc
My questions: (it's to check my lung things), so is that done without the contrast drink and injection done for just CTs? Also, my results apt is on the 10th which is 8 days after, all my other CT results were 2 days after, not sure if this is standard or my onc has other things between and it's just when the next opening was.
I'm getting anxious and nervous
If anyone has had the combo, any insight would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: no contrast drink
