After filling out the registration form at the reception desk, the patient will undergo a brief clinical interview to check their data and exam request. Then, they will be directed to the exam room and positioned on the gurney of the device. A peripheral vein from each forearm (upper limb venous assessment) or feet (lower limb venous assessment) will be punctured and maintained with saline.
The radiopharmaceutical will then be injected through this access route in both limbs concomitantly, which is when we will start image acquisition.
The duration of the exam is approximately 10 minutes. At the end, the patient will be discharged without any restrictions.
