Hello, I had a scan in Nuc. Medicine whereby radioactive material was injected into my arm. The tech claimed that there was less radiation than a plain x-ray. Can you confirm or deny that the danger is truley less than that of a simple chest x-ray?
Also, I remember her telling me to "let her know" if when I urinated after the injected, if I dribbled any urine on my skin by accident, and I forgot to tell her that I did accidentily dribbled some urine on one of my hands and a bit down my pants leg that also came in contact with the skin of my leg. It wasn't a LOT but it was definately noticeable.
Did she want me to "let her know" for any particular reason?
I seek an honest, blunt answer here -
1) Am I even remotely possibly in any danger from the urine contacting my skin after that injection of radiation?
2) Is the amount of radiation truley less dangerous than that of a plain x-ray (or was that less than a CT scan?)
Thank you very much, and keep up the good work.
