After A PET Scan

After A PET Scan

After the test, you can go about your day unless your doctor gives you other instructions. Drink plenty of fluids after the test to help flush the tracers out of your system. Generally, all tracers leave your body after two days.

Meanwhile, a trained specialist will interpret the PET images and share the information with your doctor. Your doctor will go over the results with you at your follow-up appointment.
