Official Title: Impact of Free Mobility on FDG Uptake During a PET Scan: Randomized Controlled Non-inferiority Study
Brief Summary:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a rather long examination (around 2 hours), involving an injection of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which requires the patient to rest for 1 hour between the injection and the start of imaging. Some hospitals allow the patient to sit, read or use the telephone, but none allow the patient to move freely after injection, hence the interest of this work. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that free mobilization of the patient following 18F-FDG injection does not result in…
