How you prepare

How you prepare for a SPECT scan depends on your particular situation. Ask your health care team whether you need to make any special preparations before your SPECT scan.

  • Leave metallic jewelry at home.
  • Inform the technologist if you're pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Bring a list of all the medications and supplements you take.
