i'm a big overweight guy am i going to be ok doing this? feel like doctor would know if i wouldnt be but yeah

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

@@kilbluff1985 That won't be a problem. We'll see more fat on the picture, but besides that, there won't be a difference. It won't affect the results. Hope this helps.

@@dr.paulinemoyaert yeah thanks i guess they know big people are often the ones with bone issues lol was more kind concerned about fitting in the scanner

Dr my Dr prescribed bone scan NAF I have psoriasis history. Almost controlled now. ankylosing spondylitis, over time, the inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine caused stiffness. , this caused the vertebrae (bones in the spine) upper just below hr next to fuse (grow together). For this and and also other aspects Dr suggested for pet ct bone NAF .is this required (my age 50) please suggest thank you Laks

Good presentation, however you have focused more on explaining possible side effects of scanning/ concerns of patients regarding radioactive material rather what DEXA scanning reveals

[@justinlebling2253]

Keep up the strong work 👍☢

If you wear a Dexcom meter for your diabetic reading take it off. Also get a geiger counter to read the high levels of raditation. I got sick diarrhea throw up etc.

[@kilbluff1985]

hey i'm doing one of these on wed, i assume if you have to wait at the hospital they don't give you a room for those few hours?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

They won't give you a room 😉

[@jashimUddin-pw4um]

I have to do this soon because of the pain of my lower back to buttock. But I'm worry to lay down. Because I can't lay down for the pain it's so difficult and hurt for me.

[@danielcalabrese5798]

what about if you got a pacemaker?????

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

This is something you should discuss with your doctor, but it's not a contra-indication.

[@crystalbutterfly4812]

yea no one tells you anything I had a dexcom and I took it off the night before check with your Doc first

[@Humbletrader08]

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Hi , I’m a mom of two little kids, can I contact with my kids after test ?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Yes :-) (Maybe don't cuddle them within the first 8-10 hours after the test)
