If you’ve recently been scheduled for a PET-CT scan, you may have heard your technologist mention numbers like “60” and “30.” At first glance, they sound like a countdown or a blood pressure reading.

So next time you hear “60 30,” don’t see random numbers. See a carefully chosen window into your body’s metabolic story — with new chapters still being written. Have you had a PET-CT scan with a different timing protocol? Share your experience in the comments below.
