        Wishing Max well for a clean PET. If this is his first, tell him he gets an hour nap before the scan.

                ... it's necessary to wait about an hour because the radioactive glucose need this time to step into the metabolism of the cells...when you are ready the scan take about half hour.

                  The nap was the best part. You have to lie still because they don't wan't the muscles to absorb the glucose. You can really do what you like as long as your still. I always opt for a few ZZZZ's myself. Brian will be just fine with the procedure. Let us know when you can. All the best. Take it a day at a time!
