F-18 FDG-PET is an established approach for diagnosing inflammation based on its ability to visualize increased cellular glucose metabolism, and the researchers hypothesized that it could be useful in patients with neurosarcoidosis. In all three cases, gadolinium-enhanced MRI scans did not show abnormalities.

But, first, let’s understand what a PET/CT is and why it is used. What is a PET/CT? A PET/CT is the combination of PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT ( Computed Tomography ) scans. A PET scan creates images of your body’s biological processes. Why Can Hospital Imaging Cost More?

What Happens During a CT Scan Procedure? Before the scan you will be asked to remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, and you may need to wear a hospital gown. A radiologist will perform the scan, and it generally takes about 30 minutes (or less) depending on the specific type of scan requested by your physician.
