Can the Keto Diet Affect PET Imaging of the Brain?
A new retrospective study shows that increased blood ketone levels due to a ketogenic diet suppress the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the brain. For the study, recently published in the European Journal of Hybrid Imaging, researchers reviewed data from 52 patients who had 18F-FDG PET for evaluation of … Read more
