Default what does the brain PET scan mean?

All i can you it was an FDG Pet scan for juvenile dementia. I havge severe thinking problems and memory problems. All i can tell you from the scan was that i was given 429.0 MBq. My weight is 80kg. I was suprmemely nervous and had racing thoughts faster then i had in years and i didn't take my medicine the night before. The test came bt back normal with increased uptake in the basal ganglia.

What the heck does it mean seeing as no one cared to explain how much it rules out or looks for. Does that mean my brain is getting enough blood flow to my head? (while lying down, as i know im not when standing, POTS) How does it not show my brain dysfunction? My neurosurgeon didin't look at it and ust read the results.
