Explain:
Option B, glucose
PET scan stand for positron emission topography. It use radioactive substance to trace the tumor. Due to high rate of metabolism, these cell take more of tracer than normal cell. Fluorescent labelled glucose ( FDG) is used as tracer . As due to high metabolic rate they uptake more and more amount of glucose ( in cancer celll , glycolysis is main pathway which provide energy source) . So tumor cell appear fluorescent labelled due to uptake of more FDG.
The Warburg effect is exploited in an imaging technique that is commonly used to detect tumors....
