Paint brushes from size â0000â to size 12. One feature of paint brushes is the wide variety of sizes. Generally, the size of a paint brush can be identified by a number, the larger the number the bigger the size. Size â0â is a very small brush and the sizes go up to at least size â40â. There are some exceptions to this sizing method.
Drinking coffee before having a PET scan will interfere with the results as caffeine can affect the myocardial uptake, or the amount of tracer used. With intake of caffeine more fluorodeoxyglucose clusters around the heart, making it difficult to take a look into the lesions of the heart.
I saw online that some facilities tell folks to eat a low or no carb diet the day before PET scan, in addition to the other things on the list (no exercising 48 hrs before, etc).
