Here's why you should speak to a doctor:
* Individualized assessment: A doctor can assess your specific medical history, including the type of defibrillator you have, and determine if a PET scan is safe for you.
* Potential risks: While PET scans are generally safe, there are potential risks associated with any medical procedure. A doctor can explain these risks and answer any questions you might have.
* Alternative options: If a PET scan is not recommended, a doctor can suggest alternative diagnostic tests that might be safer for you.
Please remember: It's crucial to prioritize your health and safety by seeking professional medical advice.
