A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is known as an imaging procedure which is using the Choline F-18 to assess the patients with the disease of the prostate carcinoma. While, the Choline F-18 is a special chemical tracer that is also known as fluoromethylcholine-18. This scan would further help in detecting the location of the recurrent prostate cancer that also returned even after any successful treatment of the patient’s prostate cancer.
The 18 F-Choline PET/CT will be quite useful in the imaging modality in the patients with any prostate carcinoma; it would further demonstrate the spread of your disease preoperatively along with the detection of the local recurrence after a radical prostatectomy.

Prostate carcinoma (prostate cancer) is considered to be one of the most common types of fatal cancer.
This cancer is said to typically occur in male prostate gland. Main functions of your prostate gland are generally to produce seminal fluid that would carry the sperm.
To perform the procedure of F-18 Choline PET Scan, the mentioned below steps will be followed.

The Fludeoxyglucose F18 is known to be a radioactive tracer that would act as the glucose analog along with its use for the diagnostic purposes and in conjunction with the positron-emitting tomography (PET) that would be able to further localize the tissues with an altered glucose metabolism.
Because of the short half-life and the positron emission, also the18F is usually used in the molecular imaging of the biological and any biochemical processes; this would include any early detection of diseases and assessment of your treatment response by the positron emission tomography (PET).
An entire scanning procedure — which even includes the preparation time — would take about 1 hour to 3 hours at maximum.
It is seen that drinking plenty of the fluids after a scan would help flush it from the body. As a precaution, you might be further advised to further avoid prolonged close contact with any pregnant women, the babies or even the young children for few hours after the PET scan, as you would still be be slightly radioactive during this time duration.
The Fluorine F 18 decays by the positron, (β+) emission and it has half-life of about 109.7 minutes. The principal photons would be considered useful for the diagnostic imaging and - 511 keV gamma photons that are resulting from an interaction of an emitted positron with the electron.
The Fluorine-18 has ideal nuclear properties for PET, resulting in the high resolution, accessibility, and the marketability.
Furthermore, the nuclear properties of fluorine-18 would result in the low patient radiation burden.
It is seen that drinking water is highly encouraged to ensure ones hydration for the best test results.
You must continue to take your medications as they have been prescribed.
Moreover, If you are also diabetic, ask your healthcare professional about the diet and the medication, including any withholding of the insulin for about 4 hours prior to an exam (with exception of the insulin pump, because that is permitted).
Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission
This is useful for any staging and also restaging of locally advanced carcinoma. However, sensitivity of the whole-body scanner would be more limited in cancer part low-grade tumors.
Early check ups are always better than delayed ones. Safety, precaution & care is depicted from the several health checkups. Here, we present simple & comprehensive health packages for any kind of testing to ensure the early prescribed treatment to safeguard your health.
