First, let's get a bit of the jargon down. The playing surface in curling is called the sheet. Sheet dimensions can vary, but they're usually around 150 feet long by about 15 feet wide. The sheet is covered with tiny droplets of water that become ice and cause the stones to curl, or deviate from a straight path.
RE: FDG Uptake Explanation - PET SCAN. uptake is the amount of radioactive sugar that the cells are using for metabolism. It is possible to have a positive area on PET that is not cancer. Thats why its important to compare one scan to the next to see if there are changes.
Breast PET scan. A breast positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance (called a tracer) to look for breast cancer. This tracer can help identify areas of cancer that an MRI or CT scan may miss. A PET scan requires a small amount of radioactive material (tracer). This tracer is given through a vein (IV), usually on the inside of your elbow. It travels through your blood and collects in organs and tissues. The tracer helps the radiologist see certain areas or diseases more clearly.
