PET Centers that use [F-18]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)

Sorry I was wrong, there are more than a half dozen centers that do this

type of PET scan. It's closer to 50 centers in North America (note there

are several listed in Canada). When I was looking this up for Deborah last

month we didn't know the proper name of the test so we only turned up a half

dozen centers.

A list of the centers are at this website:

Hi Deborah and Pam.

Hope mine is okay.

I'm to be having my PET scans at Tulsa. My internist has been

assured by St. 's medical staff that they know how to perform and

interpret these results.

Of course, my confidence level is not really high, as both Tulsa and

Joplin can do MRIs too - but both missed 4 or 5 relatively

significant abnormalities in my MRIs done at each location :-)

Perhaps this is why I haven't been able to be scheduled yet? Perhaps

I am to go to another location. I'd much rather go once and have it

done right. As I understood it, these are relatively common tests

now though - nothing like the Cine MRI ordered.

By the way Deborah, glad you have a hietal hernia and GERD. I have

neither, so the boat's still out on me :-) Meanwhile, I continue to

vomit daily, but the other end competes fairly well for attention as

well :-)
