How does 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose help in detecting tumors using imaging technology?

• A. It binds to tumor-specific antigens, making them visible in imaging scans.
• B. It inhibits glycolysis in cancer cells, causing them to shrink and become visible in scans.
• C. It is metabolized by cancer cells, producing a fluorescent compound detectable by imaging.
• D. It accumulates in cancer cells due to high glycolytic activity, allowing imaging technology to detect the radio-labeled fluorine.

Answer: (D)
