What is an FDG-PET Scan?

An FDG-PET (Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography) scan is a type of medical imaging test that uses a special camera and a small amount of radioactive tracer (FDG) to produce detailed pictures of the inside of the body. The procedure is used for the detection of cancer in the body. This is also used to monitor the response to malignant disease therapy. The FDG-PET scan is used to diagnose metabolically active malignant lesions like colorectal cancer, lymphoma, breast cancer, melanoma etc. FDG is the radioactive tracer glucose used to detect any cancer in the body.

Why is FDG-PET Scan Done?

FDG-PET scans are used to detect and diagnose various medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. The radioactive tracer used in the test is absorbed by cells in the body that are active, such as cancer cells or inflamed tissues, and the scanner can detect the areas where the tracer has accumulated.

What is the Procedure for an FDG-PET Scan?

During the procedure, the patient is injected with a small amount of the radioactive tracer, which typically takes about an hour to distribute throughout the body. The patient then lies down on a table that slides into the scanner, and the images are captured over several minutes.

How do I prepare for the FDG-PET Scan?

Patients should inform their doctor if they are pregnant or breastfeeding before undergoing the test. FDG-PET scan uses radioactive material for the procedure so the patient should consult the healthcare expert before going for the procedure.

What are the Risk Factors of FDG-PET Scan?

FDG-PET scans are generally considered safe, although there is a small risk of radiation exposure.
