Determination of regional glucose metabolism in the brain
- 1. Max-Planck-Institut fur neurologische Forschung, Merheim
Description
Since the energy requirement of the brain is supplied almost exclusively by glucose, the functional state of the tissue can be estimated and quantitatively demonstrated by reference to the glucose metabolism. The investigation method in most widespread use employs 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) for quantitative imaging of the glucose metabolism by means of PET
