Hi,

Im a student with an oral skills assessment soon. Ive had placements clinically where for patients with breast or prostate cancer they would only do delayed static of the spine, and some where they would do a whole body delayed static?

Is one of these better over the other? And if so, why?

Thanks for your helpppp!

Hello,

I’m a student and my teacher has said there is a reduced dose for pregnant women doing a lung V/Q scan. She said we use around 15-20MBq of technegas and 150-200MBq of MAA for patients who aren’t pregnant. But how much of this is reduced for a pregnant patient?

thanks for you help in advance!
