Bring blood test (serum PTH) and imaging (e.g., ultrasound of the cervical region, computed tomography) results;
This test is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
HOW IS THE EXAM PERFORMED?
After filling out the registration form at the reception desk, the patient will undergo a brief clinical interview to check their data and the exam request. Then, they will be sent to the injection room. A small amount of radioactive material will be injected into a vein, preferably one from the forearm.
The patient must wait about 10 minutes to be sent to the exam room.
In the exam room, the patient will be positioned and must remain lying on the gurney of the device for about 20 to 30 minutes for image acquisition. In some specific cases, we will also perform a CT scan of the cervical region.
After the end of this stage, the patient will be instructed to return in 2 hours to acquire new images.
If necessary, at the nuclear medicine physician’s discretion, later imaging may be requested.
At the end of the exam, the patient will be discharged without any restrictions.
