3 Σεπ 2016 · Optimal fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) interpretation requires attention to many details both before and after the examination is performed. Limitations of PET. PET has a wide range of potential applications, with varying degrees of scientific evidence for the efficacy of each application.
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. It's used to help diagnose some conditions, including cancer.
