No, not inside a machine. It is a special camera, but to get the image they need you lying very still. Here is a description of the procedure: https://www.peacehealth.org/peace-harbor/services/imaging-services/nuclear-medicine/Pages/parathyroid-scan
Be sure to find out in advance any medications you need to stop, and for how long. In my case, I was instructed to take all of my usual meds.

You are a very wonderful and informed person who shares her knowledge and you must know how you genuinely help others including myself. I thank you sincerely,
Please take this seriously as I am embarased to say that I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd. I must have my head elevated somewhat to allow breathing. I want this test it is needed to keep me alive but can the test still be performed this way?
