Positron emission tomography, also known as PET scanning, has evolved significantly over the past decade thanks to ongoing technological advances. PET scanning utilizes radioactive tracers to produce three-dimensional images of metabolic processes in the body. Currently, the most common PET radiotracer is fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), a glucose molecule attached to a radioactive fluorine-18 atom. FDG is used to visualize glucose metabolism throughout the body as a marker for disease detection ... Read more
