Zog and the Gamma Camera (child friendly)To view a PDF you may need to download Adobe Reader.

Meet Zog. A doctor thinks that Zog needs to have pictures taken of the inside of his body. |
 |
Having his pictures taken won’t hurt Zog and it will be over in no time at all.
After arriving in the department, Zog must first wait in the waiting room. |
 |
This is the injection room.
Zog is having a small injection. This allows a magic medicine to go around inside Zog’s body so his pictures can be taken. |
 |
Zog will feel a little scratch for a few seconds.
After the injection, Zog is now ready to be scanned on the gamma camera. |
 |
This is a gamma camera. |
 |
Zog is being looked after by a helper who will be taking the pictures on the camera. |
 |
Zog’s parent/carer will be in the room whilst he is having his pictures taken to make sure Zog is okay. |
 |
Zog is asked to lie very still so the pictures taken are not blurry.
While the gamma camera is taking his pictures, Zog can watch his favourite programme. |
 |
After the scan, Zog will get a sticker for his bravery.
The doctor can now look at Zog’s pictures. Zog had fun and can now leave the department. |
