iTS NOT AN APRIL FOOL JOKE,AS ITS ON THE 2ND APRIL 09 AND ITS NOT A DATE WITH A GIRL OR A PET BUT A DATE WITH WIJAYA MEDICAL CENTRE IN KL,WHERE MY WHOLE BODY BE SCAN USING RADIOACTIVE GLUCOSE,TO SEE IF ANYTHING IS MOVING THAT IS NOT IN THE NORM,A PET SCAN IS THE BEST TO FIND OUT IF THE CANCER IS UNDER CONTROL AS EXPLAINED BELOW... The reason why PET is so successful is that no other imaging technique shows the internal chemistry of the body so well. Conventional imaging techniques such as X-ray, CAT scans, and Magnetic Imaging Resonance shows anatomy. PET detects chemical and metabolic changes in disease states, such as cancer, before anatomic and structural changes (detected by conventional imaging) have time to develop. Therefore PET can detect diseases when anatomic imaging studies are still normal, and may be informative in differentiating benign from malignant process. PET evaluation of tissue metabolism can indicate the probable presence or absence of malignancy based on differences of biological activity, where as anatomic imaging depends on size and radiographic characteristics of lesions to determine the likelihood of malignancy. In addition, whole body imaging with PET provides a means to examine all the organ systems in the entire body for both primary and metastatic disease in one procedure.
YES AGAIN I PRAY GOD,INSYAALLAH,ALL WILL BE WELL,AND THE REPORT WILL BE GOOD,SO FAMILY AND FRIENDS PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.
