Hi Edgar, the scan is usually 10 minutes

Hope this helps xxxx

Each scan typically takes about 10 minutes and it does not hurt, but it is important that you keep still. You will usually lie on an imaging table with your arms down by your side, while a special camera, called a gamma camera, performs the scan.

From what I remember they gave me a tablet to take and then I had to wait maybe thirty minutes or something whilst the tablet got to work and then the scan itself didn't take long but I had to wait a period of time for the tablet to do what they wanted it to do so they could measure it

Thanks guys. Any side effects from the drink or tablets. I was also told they would inject buscopan!
