The risk of developing cancer from a CT scan is highest in children and young adults. Alternatives. Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to visualize the organs in the abdomen. Ultrasound does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation. However, ultrasound may not be...
Preparing for an Abdominal CT ScanPreparation for a scan of the abdomen may vary depending on the reason for the scan and whether a contrast dye is used. Common preparation steps include: Fasting: Patients may be asked to refrain from eating or drinking for several hours before the scan, ...

This issue has been dealt with in more detail in chapter 1, "Technical Aspects of CT in Practice," but the effects on the PET scan require some adjustment in the timing of the contrast injection relative to the start of the CT. In our practice, we wait 70 seconds before the injection ...

Did you know that a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis exposes an individual to about 10 mSv, while a PET/CT exposes an individual to about 25 mSv of radiation? This is equal to about 8 years of average background radiation exposure. PET is used to examine metabolic processes within the...
