A technologist will explain the entire process to you prior to starting the exam.  He/she will also ask you some health history questions, which will help our radiologist interpret your exam.

You will be given a controlled meal (as explained above) to eat in 10 minutes or less.  We will start taking images immediately upon completion of your meal.  The images are taken with you standing in front of a camera every 10 minutes for about 1-2 minutes at a time. 

If you have any technical questions specific to this procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask the technologist during the exam.  All clinical questions should be directed to your physician.

You will be in our department for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. 

Since you will have time between images, you can bring a book or a handcraft if you wish.
