Gamma Scan Procedure

Quick Guide on Gamma Scan Test

Process
  • Gamma Scan involves generation of 3D images that form as a result of the gamma scan machine rotating around the patient providing dimensional and spatial information which releases radiation within tissues.
  • The most commonly used radionuclide is 99m Technetium labeled with various organ specific tracers like sestaMIBI, DTP, MDP etc.
  • This imaging is interpreted visually and quantitatively to look for pathological changes in any organ much earlier than anatomical imaging and other diagnostic tests

The entire process typically takes 2-3 hours, is painless and patients can resume normal activities immediately after the scan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are there any risks or side effects?

Answer: A gamma scan is generally considered safe and does not have any major side effects. However, there can be some temporary side effects like fatigue and tiredness. Swelling can also occur in some patients. However, instances of any long-term side effects are very rare.
Answer: The radioactive tracer that is used in the gamma scan or nuclear medicine scan typically exits the body within a day or two. Most of this radioactive tracer is removed through urine. Patients can make sure to drink plenty of water in order to flush out the radioactive material quickly.
Answer: After the completion of a gamma scan procedure, there are certain restrictions that the patients need to follow because of the radioactive tracer inside their bodies. These restrictions involve staying away from pregnant women or children to avoid radiation exposure. Prolonged contact with such individuals is generally avoided for the next 12-24 hours after the scan.
Answer: Yes, after a gamma scan, a patient is generally considered safe to be around pregnant women or children. However, prolonged exposure or contact with such people must be avoided for around 12 hours. In most cases, the radioactive material exits the body of the patient by the next morning, but just to ensure extra safety, these measures can be taken for an entire day after the scan.
Answer: Yes, there is a certain set of rules that need to be followed before the gamma scan procedure. These steps include not eating anything for at least a few hours before the gamma scan, and informing the doctor about any medications and ongoing health issues, or allergies. The specific rules might vary depending on the type of gamma scan the patient needs to undergo.
Answer: A gamma scan or nuclear medicine scan might take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes for the actual process of the scan. However, the total time spent at the hospital might be more as the patient needs to wait for at least 2-3 hours before the scan to let the radioactive tracer be absorbed into their bodies.
