MIBG Scintigraphy

You do not need to keep an empty stomach for the tests. You should drink LUGUL solution in the recommended dose starting 3 before the test and continue for 7-10 days after the test for protecting your thyroid gland. This is very important in respect to not bringing any harm to the functions of thyroid gland. Furthermore, if any, you should stop taking certain medication that you are on before a specific period prior to the test. You can consult with your physician in order to learn which medication you should stop using. Imaging will be carried out in 2 separate days corresponding to 24th and 48th hours after an injection to a blood vessel on your arm.
