After a PET scan, patients may experience minimal side effects, primarily related to the radioactive tracer used during the procedure. Some individuals might feel mild discomfort at the injection site or experience temporary fatigue. The radioactive tracer typically clears from the body within hours, so long-term effects are rare. It’s generally safe, but patients should follow any specific post-scan instructions provided by their healthcare provider.

What is useful for viewing metabolic activity?
Tools such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) tracer can be useful for viewing metabolic activity in the body. These methods involve measuring the uptake of glucose, a marker of metabolic activity, in different tissues. PET scans can provide valuable information about the functioning of organs and tissues in the body.
What are some of the benefits of registering your pet with Petlink?
Registering your pet with Petlink can help to increase the odds of a lost pet being returned. If the information of your pet's microchip is registered with Petlink, it can give the owner's information to anyone who scans it and searches the Petlink database.
Radioactive substances that emit positrons are used in scans?
Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use radioactive substances that emit positrons to detect metabolic activity in the body. These substances are injected into the body and, as they decay, they emit positrons that interact with electrons to produce gamma rays. The gamma rays are then detected by a PET scanner to create detailed images of the body's functions.
