This package also lists 13 items we have not matched to a test; if any of them is an X-ray, CT or PET scan, the total is higher.
- Abdominal X-ray (KUB) · about 0.7 mSv
- Bone density (DXA) · about less than 0.01 mSv
- Chest X-ray · about 0.1 mSv
- Coronary CT angiography · about 5.1 mSv
- Abdomen and pelvis CT · about 7.7 mSv
- PET-CT (FDG) · about 23 mSv
Typical doses from published references (RadiologyInfo.org ↗, Mettler et al. 2008 ↗); the actual dose depends on the scanner and protocol. Ask the center for its own figure.

General preparation notes for 15 tests in this package
This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator: the test passes a weak electric current through the body and has traditionally not been recommended with these devices.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested, so the test is often done in the morning.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Fasting for 9 to 12 hours (no food or drink except plain water) is often requested.
Mention when booking: Confirm with the center whether your test needs fasting; if you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting.
Usually needs at least 8 hours without food or drink except water beforehand.
Mention when booking: If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, ask the prescribing doctor how to manage it while fasting, and mention it to the center.
Usually needs no fasting; you remove jewelry, metal objects and sometimes clothing above the waist for a hospital gown.
Mention when booking: Tell the center if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs about 6 hours without food beforehand; clear fluids other than milk or fizzy drinks are commonly still allowed. Loose, comfortable clothing is easiest.
Mention when booking: Mention if you have type 1 diabetes, so the center can offer an early appointment time.
For a transabdominal scan, drinking water beforehand to fill the bladder is common; for a transvaginal scan, an empty bladder is usual instead.
Mention when booking: Tell the center which type of scan you expect, and mention if you are, or might be, pregnant.
Usually needs a few hours without food or drink beforehand; you may be asked to drink an oral contrast liquid, and an IV contrast injection is common.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about kidney disease, contrast allergy, diabetes medicine and possible pregnancy; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Usually needs 3 to 4 hours without food and no caffeine beforehand, since caffeine makes it harder to slow the heart for clear pictures; water is often still allowed. Erectile-dysfunction medicines are avoided.
Mention when booking: Mention recent erectile-dysfunction medicine (nitroglycerin is often given), asthma, kidney disease, contrast allergy, metformin or pregnancy; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Guidelines on eating and drinking vary by center, so ask when booking. Remove jewelry and metal before the scan.
Mention when booking: Mention a pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant or other implanted device, metal fragments, pregnancy, kidney disease, or claustrophobia.
Afterwards: If you take a sedative for claustrophobia or anxiety, you'll need someone to take you home; arrange this before the scan.
Usually needs several hours without food and only water to drink beforehand, then 30 to 60 minutes resting quietly after the tracer injection. Leave jewelry, hairpins and other metal at home.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about diabetes (ask the prescribing doctor about timing diabetes medicine), any contrast or iodine allergy, kidney disease, and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Afterwards: Drink plenty of water afterward to help clear the tracer; normal activities can usually resume right away.
Usually needs a clear-liquid diet the day before and a split-dose bowel-cleansing prep taken the evening before and morning of the exam; drinking extra fluids helps avoid dehydration.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart, kidney or lung disease, blood thinners, diabetes medicine, aspirin, arthritis medicine or iron; ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, operating machinery or signing legal documents for the rest of the day; someone should take you home.
Usually needs about 8 hours without food or drink, including water, beforehand.
Mention when booking: Tell the center about heart or lung disease, aspirin, blood thinners, arthritis medicine, insulin or iron, and ask the prescribing doctor before changing any medicine.
Afterwards: After sedation, no driving, machinery or legal documents that day; get a ride home. Contact a doctor for fever, trouble swallowing, chest or belly pain, or black stools; bleeding can start days later.
Usually asks that you skip calcium supplements for 24 hours beforehand. Avoid clothing with metal zippers or buttons, and remove jewelry.
Mention when booking: Mention any recent barium exam or CT/nuclear-medicine contrast, and whether pregnancy is possible.
Usually needs no special preparation; expect to listen for tones or words through headphones, and sometimes a small probe checks how the eardrum moves.
