FDG is metabolized to FDG-6-phosphate which cannot be further metabolized by tumor cells, and hence it accumulates and concentrates in tumor cells. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan creates colored pictures of chemical changes (metabolic activity) in tissues. Rush was the first hospital in Illinois to use it. The three FDA-approved amyloid PET agents share similarities; however, their findings are interpreted using different color scales and different criteria for a positive result . PET scan is most commonly used in case of certain dementiaslike( Alzheimerâs Disease and Pickâs Disease) where the earlydamage is not detected by using CT and MRI scans. Though these cancers rarely spread, a PET scan gives helpful information about your whole body. 0000002331 00000 n
Tumor cells have a high metabolic rate, and hence this compound is also metabolized by tumor cells. Uptake of this compound followed by further breakdown occurs in the cells. See our Privacy Policy and User Agreement for details. Thus, many PET centers arc located in a research-driven institute, such as a university or other large teaching hospital. Because cancerous tumors are usually more active than normal tissue, they sometimes appear as âhot spotsâ on the PET scan. A PET scan is often done along with a CT scan using a machine that can do both scans at the same time (called a PET/CT scan). 0000006580 00000 n
