    Fasting for 4 to 6 hours is required before PET/CT examination. Before and after the injection of the drug, you should keep it as quiet as possible, and rest in a lying or semi-recumbent position. Some patients, especially diabetic patients, need to do blood glucose concentration measurement. Some people with diabetes need insulin. It may be necessary to take oral glucose while undergoing a cardiac examination. Urination should be done before a full-body examination (be careful not to make urine contaminate underwear or skin to avoid misdiagnosis). Patients who cannot remain supine or cannot move (such as children) may require sedatives or other measures.
