The objective of this study is to make a comparison between 11C-acetate and 11C-Acetoacetate heart and kidney metabolism
Healthy people will have two positron emission tomography scan to perform. One, with a 11C-Acetate Tracer and the other with 11C-Acetoacetate. The results will allow to determine if both tracers are used in a similar way but the organs and see if the investigators can use the already validated analyse method for acetate to make acetoacetate analysis
