Monday musings

 I've spent the last few days in bed feeling really unwell. I'm getting chest pains and am having trouble standing and walking.



I've been scheduled to have a PET CT scan at Wimpole Street Hospital in mid January.

A rubidium rest/stress PET-CT scan is a procedure that uses a radioactive tracer to evaluate blood flow in the heart: 
  • Rest scan
    An image of the heart is taken after an injection of the radioactive tracer, rubidium-82 (Rb-82) 
  • Stress scan
    A drug is administered to increase blood flow to the heart, and another image is taken to show how blood flow changes under stress
