FDG PET CT Whole Body Scan

Basic Introduction

FDG PET CT (Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography) Whole Body Scan is an advanced imaging technique that combines functional (PET) and structural (CT) imaging. It helps detect abnormal cell activity and provides detailed pictures of organs, bones, and tissues in a single test.

Use of FDG PET CT Scan

• Cancer Diagnosis & Staging – Detects cancer early, identifies spread (metastasis), and helps in staging.
• Treatment Monitoring – Evaluates response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery.
• Recurrence Detection – Identifies residual or recurrent tumors.
• Neurology – Assesses brain disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia.
• Cardiology – Evaluates heart muscle viability in coronary artery disease.
• Whole Body Screening – Provides comprehensive evaluation for high-risk patients.

Preparation

• Fasting: 6–8 hours before the scan (water allowed).
• Blood Sugar: Must be within normal limits before the test (preferably < 150 mg/dL).
• Hydration: Drink water before and after the test for better tracer clearance.
• Medication: Inform your doctor about ongoing medicines, especially diabetes medications.
• Test Duration: 2–3 hours including injection, uptake period, and scan.
