Re: PET study for 30 wk pregnancy



Thanks for the reference. A question or two regarding the data from the

ORAU web site. The headers for Tables 2 and 3 state that if the row is

shaded, the values are for mother and self dose. I am assuming that

self-dose means dose to the fetus resulting from the isotope crossing the

placenta into the fetus. The values given for FDG are not shaded.

Therefore, I am questioning whether FDG crosses the placenta and if so,

then what should I use to account for the increased dose to the fetus?
