DOI: 10.1007/s11307-019-01314-9
Abstract: Purpose2-Deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) has been widely used for imaging brain metabolism. Tracer injection in anesthetized animals is a prerequisite for performing dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. Since preconditioning, as well as anesthesia, has been described… read more here.
