ements are brought to the same detection sensitivity by Normalization
which calibration?
F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is not identical to glucose
Is not de-phosphorylated within the cell
because it
The device used for the receipt of a radioactive package
mR/hr
must read in:
Is taken up into myocytes by a sodium/potassium ATP
Regarding Rubidium-82, which of the following is correct?
transporter.
In routine oncology imaging, FDG-PET is not used for Cerebral metastases may be masked by the intense FDG
detection of cerebral metastases because: accumulation in normal cerebral cortex
Image segmentation of the transmission scan is a method Sectioning out similar tissues and re-assigning known
to reduce noise in the attenuation correction map by: tissue attenuation values
A patient arrives 30 minutes late for their PET scan. The
dose of FDG read 10.1 mCi at the time of their appoint- 8.3 mCi
