A Nuclear Medicine Imaging Test, known as a Whole Body FDG PET CT scan, is frequently employed to identify various types of cancers, heart ailments, neurological disorders, infections, and Pyrexia of Unknown Origin (PUO). It involves the injection of a radioactive glucose tracer (18F FDG), which is then measured by the PET Scanner as it is taken up by tissues in your body that are in a fasting state. This comprehensive PET CT scan is primarily utilized for the purposes of detecting, staging, and assessing treatment response for a wide range of cancer types.
