Indicações terapêuticas:

Fludeoxyglucose F18 Injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in the following settings: For assessment of abnormal glucose metabolism to assist in the evaluation of malignancy in patients with known or suspected abnormalities found by other testing modalities, or in patients with an existing diagnosis of cancer. For the identification of left ventricular myocardium with residual glucose metabolism and reversible loss of systolic function in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, when used together with myocardial perfusion imaging. For the identification of regions of abnormal glucose metabolism associated with foci of epileptic seizures. None. Pregnancy Category C Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection. It is also not known whether Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity.  Consider alternative diagnostic tests in a

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Fludeoxyglucose F18 Injection is indicated for positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging in the following settings:
Oncology: For assessment of abnormal glucose metabolism to assist in
the evaluation of malignancy in patients with
known or suspected abnormalities found by other testing modalities, or
in patients with an existing diagnosis of cancer.
Cardiology: For the identification of left ventricular myocardium with
residual glucose metabolism and reversible loss of
systolic function in patients with coronary artery disease and left
ventricular dysfunction, when used together with
myocardial perfusion imaging.
Neurology: For the identification of regions of abnormal glucose
metabolism associated with foci of epileptic seizures (
1).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Fludeoxyglucose F18 Injection emits radiation. Use procedures to
minimize radiation exposure. Screen for blood glucose
abnormalities.
In the oncology and neurology settings, instruct patients to fast for
4 – 6 hours prior to the drug’s injection. Consider
medical therapy and laboratory testing to assure at least two days of
normoglycemia prior to the drug’s administration (
5.2).
In the cardiology setting, administration of glucose-containing food
or liquids (e.g., 50 – 75 grams) prior to the drug’s
injection facilitates localization of cardiac ischemia ( 2.3).
Aseptically withdraw Fludeoxyglucose F18 Injection from its container
and administer by intravenous injection ( 2). The
recommended dose:
for adults is 5 – 10 mCi (185 – 370 MBq), in all indicated
clinical set
