A member asked:
Are there distinct and separate testing requirements for pet brain scans, or is it a "one size fits all" situation where a single pet scan is used to test all neurological conditions?

This is an extremely expensive test, which will not be covered by insurance unless specific indications are followed and pre-authorization is obtained. In NO way should this be used to test "all neurological conditions".

FDG PET helps to evaluate blood flow to the brain and it's many intricate networks, and helps in the evaluation of neurodegenerative disorders (one example Alzheimer Dementia), follow up on the response to treatment of infections, and in the evaluation of various mental health disorders like Schizophrenia. Yes, many neurological and psychiatric disorders can be assessed
