Be prepared to just sit still for an hour after they put the radioactive glucose in. They wouldn't even let me read a book. That was my only surprise when I went. Then I have also heard you shouldn't hug your pet that day as you have radiation in you. I don't know how critical that is. I have another PET coming up next week.
