Question What's a MUGA scan like?

Hi ladies!

I will be having one of these soon, and I'm wondering what to expect. What kind of machine is it? How long does it take? Are there contrast dyes involved?

I've had the MRI's, the CT's and the Bones scanned. I don't like having to lie completely still for ANYTHING. It makes me anxious. I can deal with it, but I'm a wiggler.

You guys are most knowlegable. Give me your wisdom!!!
