What is 18F-FDG PET-CT?
The radioactive tracer, 18F-FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose), is used to identify the presence of a high glucose rate of metabolism in the body, typically correlated with cancer cells or abnormal cells.
When used with CT imaging, it provides a complete picture of both the functionality and the structure to be used by the doctors to make accurate diagnoses and treatment schedules.
