What does a PET scan show? PET can measure blood flow, blood volume, oxygen usage, tissue pH (acidity), glucose (sugar) metabolism, and drug activity. PET is very useful in detecting the activity of cancer. Because malignant cells grow at a fast rate, they metabolize more sugar than ...
[a] (18F FDG) PET/CT scan of the brain was performed on Biograph Vision. The study shows normal uptake in brain with excellent delineation of functioning cortex and sharp contrast between cortex and white matter. Additionally there is sharp basal ganglial edge definition, especially the sharp ...

PET scans had been performed for 3.60% of patients with bladder cancer, 1.09% of those with prostate cancer, and 5.32% of those with RCC. On regression analysis, a more recent year of diagnosis, younger age, and high stage or grade were predictors of PET scan usage for patients with ...
A positron emission tomography scan, also known as a PET scan, can be used alongside other cancer treatments to get the best results. For some types of cancer, a PET scan can help identify where the cancer is located and at what stage it is. Knowing the exact location of the cancer and...
This scan lets doctors see inside your body. A PET scan is different from an MRI or a CT scan, because it shows how your organs and systems are working. It can give doctors a clear view of some types of cancer ...
