Detection of Bone Cancer with the use of radioisotope Fluorine 18 in Medicine Andrea Kozera

Fluorine 18 emits gamma waves, as it decays through Beta positron emission into oxygen.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography)

Distribution of Flurodeoxyglucose Cancerous cell in blood stream Fluorine 18 producing gamma waves apart of the substance Fluorodeoxyglucose

PET scanning of body Flurodeoxygluocose in the body detected by Gamma radiation detectors.

Benefits of Fluorine 18 in the detection of Bone Cancer Early detection of Cancer/illness Convenient to patient Provide detailed imagery Quicker decay time

Disadvantages of using Fluorine 18 in the detection of Bone Cancer Quick usage Long period of scanning time Expensive Careful monitoring of high exposure to radiation

Highly beneficial in detection of Bone Cancer despite the disadvantages. Correct identification of illness Patients are comfortable Early detection, possibly saving a life Future study of cancer Future research Advancements in medical field
