Proper Use
A doctor or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins just before you have a PET scan.
Your doctor will have you drink plenty of water or other fluids (as tolerated) during the four hours before you have the PET/CT scan.
You will need to urinate right away and as often as possible for at least one hour after the PET/CT scan.
