@protonguy: PET scans are one of the most useful diagnostic systems used in medicine today. This imaging test looks at organs and tissues to examine them at a cellular level. In this short, host David Raubach explains how a positron emission tomography (PET) scan works and why it is so critical in diagnostics. Oftentimes a doctor will order a PET / CT scan to examine both structural and functional information from the body. The primary difference is that CT scans use x-rays to examine bones, organs, and tissues while PET scans use contrast such as FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) to show chemical and metabolic activity.

My wife had two FALSE POSITIVE PET scans 2023, in the middle of chemo. They had prepared her for 25 rds of radiation. It would have left her devastated!

Why would a physician order a PET scan for any patient with Diabetes. Physicians just follow protocols they are taught instead of treating each patient as an individual. I don't trust our medical system at all. You should always advocate for yourself & your loved ones.
