Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Cancer Associated Venothromboembolism

"The study is focused on two goals, both of which use a new imaging test called PET/CT. PET/CT combines a special radioactive scan with a CT scan. PET/CT is most commonly used in medical practice to evaluate cancer. Abnormal areas such as cancer light up on the PET/CT scan. However, many doctors, including us, have noticed that PET/CT also lights up in areas of blood clot formation as well. In this study, PET/CT will be used to evaluate the two goals of this project."
