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

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

3 PET (Positron Emission Tomography)

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

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

6

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

8 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

9 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
