the steroids essentially decrease membrane formation, decreasing possible rate of further accumulation.
Generally, if the scan is nonoperative you can do steroids.

There is some literature on it...mostly from European institutions.

We typically do it for nonoperative but larger ones with some of the staff but not all. As you can see here its controversial. At a big name institution.

"steroids" is a weird way to spell "SEPS drain"...

According to JAMA a statin will suffice
