PET imaging tracks whole-body metabolic changes after bariatric surgery

MedicalXpress | يون 01, 2026

A novel PET imaging framework reveals that bariatric surgery impacts not only body weight, but also the metabolic function of multiple organs. These PET-derived insights into organ-level responses to surgery could support more precise treatment monitoring and personalized metabolic care. This research was presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2026 Annual Meeting.
