“…This test has no limitations with regard to acoustic window, metallic prostheses, and kidney failure. 8,[13][14][15][16] PET/CT uses radiopharmaceuticals to define images, such as fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG). The uptake of this substance by tumor cells reflects their metabolic activity and level of disease aggressiveness, helping to differentiate between malignant and benign tumors and thus avoiding cardiac biopsies and unnecessary invasive treatments.…”
