Has anyone been administered Ceretec before? I will be receiving Ceretec via IV this week, which is a slightly radioactive solution to aid in imaging that I will be undergoing.

There's practically nothing on the internet about it and tinnitus. I was wondering if anyone's ever received Ceretec via IV before and had any experience with it worsening tinnitus?
 
Well, for anyone that may be curious in the future. I got two doses of Ceretec over two days for my imaging, and I couldn't tell that it worsened my tinnitus beyond my already flared up/fluctuating state. No additional volume, tones, etc. Had a long conversation with the technician giving it to me and she said she never had complaints about her patients' ears.
