1/2 cup sour cream. 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature. In a medium bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer (or use a stand mixer) on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and the sour cream and beat for another minute.
Positron emission tomography, or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine imaging that views the body and organs on a cellular level, according to RadiologyInfo.org. A PET scan measures body functions like blood flow, oxygen use and the metabolism of glucose, or sugar. Depending on the type of PET scan you have, following a low-carbohydrate diet 12 hours before the scan may be necessary to increase the quality of PET scan images. Foods you can eat are limited for this type of PET scan. Begin your low-carbohydrate diet 12 hours before your scheduled PET scan unless otherwise instructed by your physician, suggests Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. All meats are allowed prior to a PET scan, including beef, chicken, pork and fish.
The last pet I had I was instructed not to eat for 6 hours prior to the scan. When I arrived they tested my blood sugar to make sure it was in normal range. The medicine they give you to drink prior to the scan is some type of glucose concoction. Since cancer tumors intake all the sugar they can, thats what makes the pet show the activity of any cancer tumors as they suck up the glucose and as they say light up the cancer tumors. Lori.
