It means that the tissue is absorbing the radioactive sugar they injected you with prior to the PET scan. Different tissues absorb this at different rates and hypermetabolic means that the target tissue is absorbing the sugar at rates above the norm (as happens with infected/inflammed tissue and cancer cells).
A PET scan, or Positron Emission Tomography, is used to scan internal organs for abnormalities, like tumors, or cancer. PET scans for animals may cost hundreds, or thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the animal, and the complexity of the scan.
it means have u got A PET
one way to tell if your cat is in pain is if it is purring. purring does not always mean it is in a happy or good mood.... it can mean it is in savere pain!
He liked how you petted him.
This question is unclear. Do you mean "is your pet supposed to protect you" or "are you supposed to protect your pet"? If you are asking if your pet is supposed to protect you, then no. Your pet is you, the owner's, responsibility and it really not a pet's job to protect you. Even a lot of dogs do not have a natural guarding instinct and will prefer to hide in situations it does not like. If the question is "are you supposed to protect your pet?" then yes, absolutely! A pet, no matter what species it is, depends on the owner for its health, happiness and safety - a good owner strives to provide all these things. A pet should not be used as a status symbol, or used as a commodity.
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.
hypermetabolic activity posterior to the bladder. SUV is 6.5.
Hypermetabolic refers to an area that shows increased metabolic activity on a PET scan, typically indicated by higher uptake of the radioactive tracer used in the imaging. In the context of a lymph node, this can suggest the presence of conditions such as infection, inflammation, or malignancy, as cancerous tissues often exhibit elevated metabolic rates. Therefore, a hypermetabolic node may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause.
Yes, there are apps available that can scan pet microchips. These apps use the smartphone's camera to scan the microchip and provide information about the pet.

Are you talking about a PET scan?
Hypermetabolic indicates that the lymph nodes are using more sugar than normal. This is a critical diagnosis because most cancer cells have a higher metabolic rate than normal cells. Lymphadenopathy just means that the lymph nodes in question are swollen or enlarged.
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.
Yes, but bone scan has to be completed first.
no
Standardized Uptake Value (radionucleide uptake used in reading a PET scan)
Standardized Uptake Values which aids in assessing patient response to cancer therapy.
