FDG: Fueling PET Imaging Studies

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans rely on a specialized tracer to visualize metabolic activity within the body. This tracer, 2-deoxyglucose, is a modified sugar molecule that accumulates in areas of high metabolic activity. By injecting FDG into the bloodstream and tracking its distribution through PET cameras, clinicians can detect a wide r
