P.E.T. Scan Oct 2016 (P.E.T. Number 7)

P.E.T. Scan Oct 2016 (P.E.T. Number 7)

As this was PET scan number 7 in way under 3 years it needed approval from two sitting professors. Which we got and off I went for PET number 7. Strange how I now know most of the staff in this unit. New record set for 2016 – they had never scanned anyone this many times in such a short length of time.

If each scan is equivalent to 20 x-rays then just with PET scans I am now at 140.. somewhere I did read that a person should not exceed 2 x-rays a year. I must be close to glowing in the dark
