The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a nuclear medicine term, used in positron emission tomography (PET) as well as in modern calibrated Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) imaging for a (semi)quantitative analysis.[1] Its use is particularly common in the analysis of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) images of cancer patients.
As you know tums tablets are mainly made of calcium carbonate. To get calcium carbonate, mining or quarrying is required but pure calcium carbonate can be made from a pure quarried source such as marble, etc.
A: To the best of my knowledge, there is no problem with using unflavored Tums (tm) in dogs for calcium carbonate requirements. One Tums tablet contains 0.5gm of calcium carbonate. It is also possible to find calcium carbonate as the calcium ingredient in some human calcium supplements.
