How to Prepare for a PET Scan?

Your doctor will provide you with complete instructions for how to prepare for your PET scan. Tell your doctor about any prescription, over-the-counter, or supplemental medications you’re taking.

You may be instructed not to eat anything for up to eight hours before your procedure. You’ll be able to drink water, however.

If you’re pregnant or believe you could be pregnant, tell your doctor. The test may be unsafe for your baby. You should also tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have. If you have diabetes, you’ll get special instructions for test preparation because fasting beforehand could affect your blood sugar levels.

You may be asked to change into a hospital gown. You’ll also need to remove all of your jewelry and body piercings because metal can interfere with the testing equipment.
