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.
Hypermetabolic activity ranging up to 6.46 on a PET scan can mean one or two things. It can either mean you have cancer or an infection.
An imaging scan that measures the activity or functional level of the brain by measuring its use of glucose. Positron emission tomography, a process that uses radiation to give you a 3d image of the body. PET scans are used to view nodules in the lungs or pleural cavity and check other organs for infiltrates or spots, such as a spot on a kidney which can't be seen on regular x-ray equipment. It defines and makes problems clearer to see.

No, it probably wouldn't be noticable if you took it an hour before the scans, it won't cause any physical changes.

A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.

not sure dont ask me
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. However, if the tumour or cancer is in a dormant phase, where it is not growing at that time, it will not show up on a PET scan. Thanks to some Pharmaceutical company like "PetLife Pharmaceuticals" pet's cancer could be treatable using their medicines.
Yes, contraceptive implants show up on MRI.
If the technetium heart scan is normal, no technetium will show up in the heart.
A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.
A septum ring will not show up in a CT scan because the jewellery will be removed before the scan is done. CT's and MRI's require that all jewellery be removed before the scans are done. This is standard hospital protocol and is not open to debate by the subject getting the scan.
Yes but it is obviously ruled out and will not scan for drug use but will scan that it is pms.

It's possible, but unknown - not enough information. Scan your ID through WHAT?
You cannot get a kidney stone in the pancreas, but you can get pancreatic calculi (stones). They will show up on a CT scan if they are sufficiently radioopaque i.e. dense enough to cause a change in the X-ray beam which is picked up by the detectors.
