I'm making this post on Feb. 1st but this happened on Jan. 28. On Tuesday I had a EEG/PET scan. It was kind of weird for me and I don't know why. Lol. I thought the machine would have been louder, like how MRI machines are. I have had an EEG before but not a PET scan. It was weird that I was getting then together. I had to go to neurology to get the EEG stuff set up and then I went to radiology for the PET scan. If you aren't familiar with PET scans. They put a very low amount of radiative glucose in you through an IV. Then you sit in a room for an hour for it to circulate through your body. Normally for that hour you can watch TV be on your phone whatever. But I had to sit in the dark with my eyes closed for that hour. The reason was because they were starting to preform the EEG. After the hour was up I went and did the PET scan with the EEG still happening. The technician got the pictures and I was done with the scan. But the really struggle was taking all of the EEG wires off. Lol. I don't know about you but I hate that glue. On Tuesday I washed my hair two times before I had to go to work. It took about five washes to get all of the glues out of my hair. I have really thick and long hair so it might not take you as long.
I was wondering if any of you guys have had PET scans while having an EGG done as well. Do they do that for all brain scans?
Thanks for reading!
