About your scan (PET/CT appointment)
This section provides information about your scan and how to prepare for it. Please use the menu below to find the information you need.
About the scanning facility
Your scan will be on a mobile unit, located in the grounds of the facility (usually a car park). The mobile unit looks like the trailer from an HGV and the location will be on your appointment letter as well as on a map which details the site layout.
There are some instances when your scan may take place at one of our purpose built centres in London and Nottingham. If this is the case, you will be told by the Patient Referral Centre when your appointment is booked.
The units are staffed by Radiographers, Nuclear Medicine Technologists and Healthcare Assistants.
