Does silicone show up in the pet scan?
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.

However, silicone implants might be visible on other imaging modalities, such as MRI or CT scans, due to their distinct density and structure.

The primary benefit of a SPECT scan over a PET scan is its ability to provide detailed information about blood flow and the functional activity of tissues, particularly in the brain and heart.
