Probably: I would not recommend a child or pregnant woman be the companion.The amount of radiation dose is minimal to caretaker as long as has usual distance of 3.5 feet from patient.Study involves injection of isotope and sitting in quiet room for about 45 minutes.Then pet ct scan performed possibly for another half hour. Typical dose would be about 0.13 msv.Round-trip flight from new york to tokyo 0.13msv.
