How Does a PET Scan Work?

If they can latch onto cancer cells can we use that to send something else with the solution that attacks the cancer?

Informative! Any PET-CT Technologists looking for work -- Akumin is hiring! Look us up :)

Sounds awful 😮

do you realize that the radiation, energy of these photons is enourmously ionizing.
Ionization of a hydrogen atom requires 13.6 electron volts.
in compaison the aniliation of an electron and his anti particle, the positron produces 550 thousand electron volts, sa huge energy destroying any cell in either of the two oposing paths, severe radiation poisoning is the result.

Just had to point out its cool that the narrator of the video called the doctor a "she"

FDG - FluorodeoxyGlucose

... for those curious ones like me

Why gender biasing? "she"?

I'm having one done July 8th.

Also just so everyone knows, positrons are actually antimatter. It is very interesting that we use anti matter in our daily lives!

I’m in nursing school right now and this helps way better then reading the textbook. Thank you !

thnx , I have two questions:
why can't we see solid tumors in PET scanning?
what are the cells that act like cancer cells in PET scanning ?

This is an excellent explanation. I'm having one very soon and this video helps a lot. Thanks

I am so Happy to be writing this article in here, i am here to explore blogs forum about the wonderful and most safe cure for HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS . I was positive to the deadly Virus called HERPES and i lost hope completely because i was rejected even by my closet friends. i searched online to know and inquire about cure for HERPES and i saw Dr azuka testimony online on how he was cured so many persons from Herpes Disease so i decided to contact the great herbalist because i know that nature has the power to heal everything. i contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! after 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via FEDEX or DHL or UPS and it got to me after 4 days! i used the medicine as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! its really like a dream but i'm so happy! that's the reason i decided to also add more comment of Him so that more people can be saved just like me! and if you need his help,contact his Email: you can contact him on mobile number +2348121174112

Dil bechara movie se suna .... pet scan

why would you assume the doctor is female?

Sounds like limiting your sugar intake could reduce your risk of cancer.

Thank you for the video

Good explanation

And Aliens are not real 🤔🤔 THEN HOW THE HELL DID WE FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE I WATCHED THE VIDEO AND IM STILL CONFUSED DO I BRING MY PET TO THE PET SCAN OR NOT?🤣🤣🤣🤣

GREAT

Thank u so much really helpful video

I have to have scans to see where & if how far my colo-rectal cancer has spread. In afraid it’s spread to my back and hips . If glucose is sugar and it goes to show where cancer is or has spread does that mean cancerous cells are caused by high sugar intake ? Another doctor said cancer is like a fungus that spreads all over . I’d like to know where it’s spread to but also kinda don’t want to know because I’m going to try to just stay positive as long as possible. I don’t want a sicker diagnosis to affect the way my family treats me because I want us to all just keep upbeat & happy. If it’s gone too far I won’t do chemo& radiation because that could make me feel sicker if there’s not a lot of time left. It’s not that I want to be in denial but I do want to live out how ever many years God gives me to be the best quality possible . Pray for my kids , mom & I to not be so scared . Thanks

I have had 5 of these in my life. I just had the most recent one yesterday. This video explains it so much better than any doctor or nurse has ever done for me. Thank you!

Everyone seems hung up on the fact radioactive glucose is injected. Meanwhile i'm fascinated that positrons are being produced.

Why dis video not sixty seconds bic scam dislike
