VQ Lung Scan

I've just come home from having a VQ Lung Scan. The first thing they do is inject your vein with a radioactive material and then you lay down on a machine that is alittle like a ct scanner. The machine looked just like this one in the picture. You lay on the table, and that square thing, has the camera in it. It comes forward and lowers close to your chest. You feel like a marshmallow in a smore, like it will squish you at any minute. They take a total of five xrays with this machine. One straight from the top and two at different positions on either side. The machine rotates to your side. Each xray takes six minutes so you have to lay there for a long time. Then I had to get up and they shot more radioactive material into a machine and hooked to an oxygen tank, and I had to breath it in for ten minutes. Then back to this table for five more xrays that only took two minutes each this time. Then for a standard xray, a straight on one and then one from the side. The procedure was not painful. I will have results in a couple of days.
