Hi all, just had a PET/CT scan on my Renel Cell cancer and the reusults showed 7 cancerous nodes.
The nodes are as follows: 1 is not FDG avid
2 are mildy FDG avid
2 are moderately FDG avid
and 2 are intensely FDG avid.
Can anyone explain what the different uptakes mean. Are they new and growing, are the low uptake ones dying and becoming necrotic (this was a comment on a previous CT scan.
Any advice is welcome as my oncologist is new to PET/CT and wouldn't comment.
cheers Tim
