This review covers the [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) method for quantitative glucose metabolism measurement in humans using positron emission tomography (PET). It details the Sokoloff model, input function, and lumped constant for accurate FDG studies.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Medical imaging
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Quantitative measurement of human glucose metabolism is crucial for understanding various physiological and pathological states.
  • The [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) method, a radiotracer technique, is widely used for this purpose.
  • Accurate interpretation relies on understanding the underlying mathematical models and technical considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of the [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) method for quantitative glucose metabolism measurement in humans.
  • To describe the assumptions and mathematical formulation of the Sokoloff model and its adaptation for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
  • To discuss practical aspects, including different implementations, the influence of the lumped constant, and input function accuracy.
