During this procedure radioactive sugar is injected into blood. And the scanner can show which cells and organs are used this sugar. As cancer cells like glucose more then health cells, in such a way infected cells can be detected.
This procedure let to see detailed image of inside parts of the body, which make with the help of strong magnet and radio waves. This method shows the clear difference between healthy and diseased tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging is the best way for testing inner organs, especially the brain and the spine.
