This test is performed in two parts. The first is the resting myocardial perfusion study, whereas the second depicts glucose metabolism of the myocardium. Usually, there are two protocols such as one-day and two-day protocols. We generally undertake a one-day protocol until specifically prescribed by the referring doctor to perform a two-day protocol.
It is a long procedure and may take up to 6 hours on a day starting in the morning as per the appointment schedule or 2 hours on one day and 4 hours on the other day with little variability from patient to patient.
On arrival, once the registration, payment, medical history, and informed consent are done, the patient is checked for fasting blood sugar and depending upon the value of blood sugar level, glucose load is given.
Parallelly, the resting myocardial perfusion scan injection is done and scanned after 40-60 minutes.
The level of blood sugar is checked and proportionally Inj. Insulin is given intravenously within 45-90 minutes post-oral glucose administration.
Once the blood sugar level reaches the desired level, intravenous Inj. 18F-FDG is given, and scanning is performed in the PET-CT machine after 40-60 minutes.
Images are verified, and if everything is found fine, the patient is discharged.
