Silicone generally does not show up on a PET scan because it is not metabolically active and does not have a significant impact on the body's glucose metabolism, which the scan detects. PET scans are primarily used to identify areas of increased metabolic activity, often related to cancer or inflammation. However, silicone implants might be visible on other imaging modalities, such as MRI or CT scans, due to their distinct density and structure.

Is PET test is accurate cancer detection?
PET uses a radioactive isotope in the bloodstream to detect areas of uptake. The areas that show uptake are the areas that show rapid cell division which is usually cancer.

Thanks to some Pharmaceutical company like "PetLife Pharmaceuticals" pet's cancer could be treatable using their medicines.
