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 concentrates in areas of high metabolic function. By injecting FDG into the bloodstream and tracking its distribution through PET scanners, clinicians can detect a wide
