PET scan
Tomorrow Wendy will finally get a PET scan to see what is causing her fever. She has had a constant fever ranging from ~38C to ~38.8C for about 6 years now (amongst an increasingly large number of other issues, suchs as inflammation of her eyes). The University Medical Centrum Groningen has been rocking so far, throwing all their technology at it to find the cause of her problems. Something our local hospital would and could not do. So next is the PET scan, which is typically used to 1) find cancer 2) find inflammation. Naturally we hope for the latter; not finding any problem would, as weird as it sounds, be a dissapointment. When they find something, they'll try to biopsy it to determine what is actually going on.
