Interventions
The technologist will comfortably position the patient laying face up on the imaging table. EKG leads will be placed in appropriate positions to derive an EKG signal. The EKG will be used to trigger the image collection. The subject will be asked to hold his or her breath for 25-30 seconds during the scan. Total patient preparation and imaging time should not exceed 20 minutes.
