#Pet Scan

Unlike CT or MRI, you may not be familiar with a PET scan. That changes now! We’re taking you inside a PET scanner so you can see and hear exactly what a typical scan is like. This particular scanner is some of the most advanced imaging technology available. It’s called the Total Body PET, and it scans your entire body to tell doctors about tissues or organs that may not be functioning correctly. If even one of your cells is abnormal, the small amount of radiation used by the PET scanner will pick it up, giving your doctor critical details about your disease and potential treatment plan. Join us for this scan and learn more!

Gracias a Dios que llevo años sano. Pero desde que me diagnosticaron con cáncer en 2015, me han muchas veces esta prueba llamada PET Scan. Me inyectan moléculas radioactivas de azúcar y 45 minutos después me meten en este cilindro súper estrecho, para escanear todo mi cuerpo y ver cómo están mis células… Al comienzo sentía claustrofobia, pánico... Pero hoy en día, cuando entro en la máquina del PET, no lo hago con estrés… Ahora agradezco a Dios por permitirme entrar en ese estrecho cilindro, porque este procedimiento médico ayudó a salvar mi vida y ahora me ayuda a mantenerme sano. #cancer #PETscan #PETCTscan #survivor ¿Te Han hecho una prueba como estas?

☢️ Muita gente já ouviu falar em PET-scan, mas nem sempre entende exatamente o que esse exame faz. De forma simples: o PET-scan é um exame de imagem que mostra o funcionamento do organismo em nível celular. Enquanto outros exames mostram a anatomia, o PET consegue identificar alterações metabólicas antes mesmo que mudanças estruturais apareçam. Ele é uma ferramenta extremamente importante para o diagnóstico, estadiamento e acompanhamento de diversas doenças, principalmente o câncer, além de aplicações em neurologia e cardiologia. ➡️ No vídeo, eu explico como ele funciona. #PETScan #MedicinaNuclear #Teranóstico #MédicoNuclear

They inject radioactive glucose into your body to detect cancer on a PET scan — and cancer cells light up because they absorb sugar like crazy. So why are you being told diet doesn’t matter? Here’s what the research actually shows: sugar spikes insulin, insulin drives inflammation, and inflammation is what fuels tumor growth. Cancer isn’t just genetic — it’s metabolic. And what you feed your body either supports healing or feeds the fire. Even if you don’t believe sugar directly “feeds” cancer, you cannot argue that it doesn’t feed inflammation. And inflammation is the terrain where cancer thrives. What I’ve seen work? Removing all sugar and processed foods and replacing them with a whole food, metabolic healing diet — wild seafood, pasture-raised animals, organic properly prepared nuts and seeds, fermented vegetables, and healthy fats that actually nourish the body at a cellular level. The terrain matters. What you eat matters. And you have more power here than anyone in that oncology office is telling you.

🩻 Common Medical Imaging & Diagnostic Tests Modern medicine uses different imaging techniques to diagnose diseases and understand what is happening inside the body. Each test has a specific purpose and helps doctors make accurate diagnoses. 🔬 Common Diagnostic Imaging Tests: • X-ray – Best for bones and dense structures. • CT Scan – Provides detailed cross-sectional images of organs. • MRI – Excellent for soft tissues like brain, muscles, and ligaments. • Ultrasound – Uses sound waves; commonly used in pregnancy and organ imaging. • PET Scan – Detects metabolic activity and is often used in cancer diagnosis. • Fluoroscopy – Real-time X-ray used during procedures. • Mammography – Used for early detection of breast cancer. • DEXA Scan – Measures bone density and helps diagnose osteoporosis. • Angiography – Shows blood vessels and detects blockages. ⚠️ For educational purposes only.

Dia de fazer o meu exame de PET Scan (PET-CT)… um daqueles momentos que fazem o coração ficar apertado e a mente cheia de pensamentos. É o exame que mostra como está a luta aqui dentro, e encarar isso de frente não é fácil. Mas eu fui. Com medo, com fé, com coragem… do jeito que deu. Porque desistir nunca foi uma opção. Agora é confiar, esperar e continuar seguindo firme no tratamento. Um dia de cada vez, sempre. 🙏✨ #cancer #pacienteoncologico #cancerdemamametastático #fé #petscan

PET-CT (Tomografia por Emissão de Pósitrons/Tomografia Computadorizada) é um exame de imagem avançado que combina informações metabólicas (PET) com anatômicas (CT) para detectar doenças, principalmente câncer, avaliando atividade celular, metástases, e resposta ao tratamento, além de ser útil em cardiologia e neurologia, utilizando um material radioativo seguro injetado no paciente para criar imagens detalhadas do corpo inteiro. ☢️ #petct #petctscan #radiacaoativada #radiologia #radiologiaporamor #radiology

I don’t know what a “PET Scan” is but I don’t like the sound of it. #petscan #cancer #metastaticbreastcancer #pethumor #teacuppomeranian

First PET scan today, everything was fine apart from my saliva glands still don’t work properly, so a few minutes in my mouth went so dry I couldn’t swallow 😩 when we got to the bit where they inject me with contrast liquid, I managed to have a small sip of water which helped. I get the results next week 🙏 #cancer #petscan #tonsilcancer
