A member asked:
Some advice on the web say that it is proper to take a pet scan only after a minimum of 24 hours have passed from a plane flight. how correct is this?

Not sure of rational: I ain't sure of the rationale behind this advice. Generally, by flying, u don't get exposed to radiation (either in flight, nor in screening) that interferes w/ the PET scan. However, if u get a PET scan & THEN try to board a plane or cross the border, the radiation detectors might go off... in which case u might have to explain to authorities & offer proof of recent PET scan. Best to wait ~24hrs!
