Is it allowed to take F18-FDG during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Radioisotope for PET scanning. Pump-out breast milk and store it in refrigerator for some days before testing. After test is done, keep-on pumping milk and dispose it for the next 12-24 hours. Use stored milk to feed the baby. Choose the shortest half-life span radionucleotid as possible.
