Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The types of cancers that are most easily detected by PET scan procedure and the types of cancers that are not readily detected.
Introduction: The FDG-PET scan is a method of imaging in which processes occurring in the body can be viewed as three-dimensional images. PET scan is used for the detection of cancerous cells by radioactively labeling glucose with FDG.
