PET/CT FDG Scan for Patients with Diabetes
www.uwmedicine.orgPET stands for positron emission tomography. CT stands for computed tomography. FDG stands for 2-Deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-Glucose. This exam uses Fluorine-18 FDG, a radioactive tracer that acts like glucose in the body. The tracer helps us see how much energy your cells are using. We measure this with a FDG PET/CT scan. A PET/CT camera takes 2 ...
