After filling out the registration form at the reception desk, the patient will undergo a brief clinical interview to check their data and then will be sent to the exam room. In the exam room, the patient will be positioned standing or sitting in front of the device. Then, a small amount of radioactive material will be delivered through the mouth, which should keep it in the oral cavity. After starting image acquisition, the patient will be ordered to swallow the material retained in the oral cavity in a single swallow. At the end of this phase, the patient must remain in the same position and will be instructed to perform several dry swallows in a period of 10 minutes.
At the end of the exam, the patient will be discharged without any restrictions.
