A member asked:
What would cause an uptake if fdg in the right foot only during a pet-scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
So Why the test.: Tissues that are demonstrating a higher degree of metabolic activity will typically cause a greater degree of uptake to that tissue. In some situations, this uptake has a high degree of specificity and in others, it may not be so reliable. Your query would better be answered with more clinical information.
