FDG PET CT Scan: Advanced Whole-Body Cancer Imaging
What is an FDG PET CT Scan?
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is a radiation emitting type of glucose sugar. Because cancer cells absorb glucose at a much faster rate than normal cells do, FDG is able to easily reach the most active parts of the body.
The agent FDG is injected into the blood in minimal quantities until it is in the area of active metabolism. PET scan detects active metabolism while CT scan captures images of body structures.
How is the procedure of FDG PET CT Scan performed?
The process is both effective and uncomplicated.
A very small dose of FDG will be administered through an injection in your arm. After the FDG is injected into your arm, you will be required to stay still for 45-60 minutes to enable the FDG to be absorbed in the body.
You will then have to lie flat on the PET CT scanner. The scanner will pass slowly through your body.
The process of scanning takes 20-30 minutes.
How should you prepare?
Your healthcare provider may recommend the following:
• Do not eat for a few hours before the scan.
• Drink lots of water unless stated otherwise.
• Do not do any heavy exercise during the 24 hours leading to the appointment.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothes without any metal.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
