Still Glowing - but still cancer free.

Comments are acceptable here. Once my home away from home. It's a good thing I shoot digital now, or I would fog the film. At the time I took this shot with a pocket camera, I had just spent an hour laying on that machine getting a PET scan. For those that don't know, a Positron Emission Tomography or PET scan involves being injected with a radioactive tagged chemical, in this case glucose. Since a cancer cell consumes about 1000 times as much sugar as a normal cell, the patient then rests laying perfectly still for about an hour and then is paced in the scanner. A CT is done to paint an outline of the body to frame or locate the hot spots. Then the patient is slowly scanned in an inverse of an X-ray. The radioisotope has a half life of about two hours, so the patient provides the radiation as the radioactive glucose breaks down and and emits positrons.
