Abstract
This study investigated whether an optic neuropathy results in changes of brain glucose metabolism using 2-deoxy-2-F-18 fluoro-D-glucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Optic nerves were crushed in the left eye of four male Sprague–Dawley rats, which were examined using F-18 FDG PET 7 days before and after surgery for a total of 5 weeks. We calculated the standardized uptake value ratio and analyzed relative changes in the...
