dc.description.abstractIn this letter to editor I hypothesize that administering insulin or chrome along with fluoro-2 deoxy o glucose (FDG) to enhance its uptake in malignant lesions that are known to have low levels of tumor glycolysis, and therefore, improve the sensitivity of PET imaging in this setting. The logic behind this idea stems from the known fact that there is substantial increase in uptake of n-glucose following administration of insulin/chrome in many tissues, and as such, the same pattern would apply to FDG.
