The Brain PET Scan with FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose PET Scan) is a highly advanced molecular imaging technique used to evaluate brain metabolism and detect abnormalities associated with neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, brain tumours, inflammation, and cognitive disorders.

FDG is a glucose-based radiotracer that highlights areas of altered metabolic activity in the brain, helping clinicians identify regions that are underactive (hypometabolic) or overactive (hypermetabolic) compared with normal brain tissue.

This package includes a complete FDG Brain PET/CT performed by expert nuclear medicine physicians using high-resolution PET-CT technology. The scan provides detailed, clinically meaningful insights into brain function and cellular activity, aiding in early diagnosis, treatment planning, and differentiation between various neurological conditions.

FDG Brain PET is considered a gold-standard imaging tool in neurology due to its ability to detect disease before structural changes appear on MRI or CT.

Information related to Treatment

A Brain FDG PET Scan is a specialised imaging test that uses a glucose-based radiotracer (FDG) to measure metabolic activity in different regions of the brain.

It helps detect abnormal patterns associated with neurological disorders.

FDG PET provides critical diagnostic information and helps clinicians:

  • Detect early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
  • Differentiate between types of dementia (Alzheimer’s, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, etc.)
  • Localise seizure foci in epilepsy
  • Evaluate suspected brain tumours or inflammatory lesions
  • Assess the metabolic impact of psychiatric or cognitive disorders
  • Guide treatment planning and monitor disease progression

It is especially valuable when MRI findings are normal or inconclusive.

  • A small dose of FDG tracer is injected into a vein.
  • The patient rests quietly during the uptake phase (20–30 minutes) to minimise brain activity interference.
  • Detailed brain images are then captured using a PET-CT scanner.
  • The entire procedure takes 60–90 minutes.

Yes. FDG PET uses a low and clinically safe dose of radiation.

The tracer is naturally eliminated from the body through normal metabolism and hydration within a few hours.

Preparation guidelines typically include:

  • Fasting for 4–6 hours before the scan
  • Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous activity
  • Continuing most medications unless advised otherwise
  • Remaining calm and avoiding talking or stimulation before imaging

Your care team will provide precise instructions based on your condition.

Doctors may recommend FDG PET for:

  • Cognitive decline or memory symptoms
  • Suspected Alzheimer’s or other dementias
  • Evaluating unexplained neurological symptoms
  • Pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation
  • Differentiating tumour recurrence from treatment effects
  • Assessing inflammatory or infectious brain disorders

FDG PET assists in identifying:

  • Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment
  • Frontotemporal dementia
  • Lewy body dementia
  • Epileptic seizure foci
  • Brain tumours and treatment-related changes
  • Encephalitis, autoimmune, or inflammatory brain diseases
  • Metabolic abnormalities affecting behaviour or cognition
