24 Απρ 2023 · Brain positron emission tomography (PET) scans provide functional assessments of different physiological and pathophysiological cerebral changes. PET scans allow us to clinically visualize glucose or amino acid metabolism, dopamine receptors, as well as amyloid and tau deposits in the brain.
6 Νοε 2023 · Understanding FDG and its role in PET scans is key to interpreting your imaging results. When you hear terms like “FDG uptake” or “FDG activity,” they refer to the way cells absorb and use this tracer, providing insight into your metabolic health.
Brain 18F-FDG PET allows the in vivo study of cerebral glucose metabolism, reflecting neuronal and synaptic activity. 18F-FDG PET has been extensively used to detect metabolic alterations in several neurological diseases vs. normal aging.
24 Δεκ 2014 · In patients with different subtypes of dementia, FDG PET/CT shows distinct spatial patterns of metabolism in the brain and can help clinicians to make a reasonably accurate and early diagnosis for appropriate management or prognosis.

A PET scan can compare a typical brain (left) with one affected by Alzheimer's disease (right). The loss of red color with an increase in yellow, blue and green colors shows areas of decreased metabolic activity in the brain due to Alzheimer's disease.
A PET/CT scan is a way to take pictures of your body’s cells. It allows a specially trained doctor (radiologist) to check for changes in your cells. PET stands for positron emission tomography. CT stands for computed tomography. A PET/CT brain scan takes pictures of your brain as it works.
