18 Οκτ 2016 · 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is a pivotal imaging modality for cancer imaging, assisting diagnosis, staging of patients with newly diagnosed malignancy, restaging following therapy and surveillance.
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.
PET/CT scanning offers a remarkably accurate and comprehensive way to look at patients being evaluated for a suspected cancer as well as pertaining to the followup of patients with known cancer as they progress or respond to therapy.
This brief guide, “How to Read a PET Scan”, looks into the principles behind PET scans, the preparation required, the scanning process, and the interpretation of results. By understanding these aspects, patients and medical professionals can gain insights into how PET scans aid in diagnosing and managing various conditions, including cancer
17 Ιουν 2024 · Standardized uptake value (SUV) numbers are a component of reading PET scans and can dictate cancer treatment decisions. Seth Gammon, Ph.D., and Lesley Flynt, M.D., share how oncologists use these numbers and what they mean for cancer patients.
A PET scan is a test that creates 3 dimensional (3D) pictures of the inside of your body. PET stands for positron emission tomography. The PET scan uses a mildly radioactive liquid (radioactive tracer) to show up areas of your body where cells are more active than normal.
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that can help reveal the metabolic or biochemical function of your tissues and organs. The PET scan uses a radioactive drug called a tracer to show both typical and atypical metabolic activity
