  • Title: Differentiation between infection in kidney and liver cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: use of PET-CT in diagnosis and to guide management.

    Abstract:
    Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is a useful imaging method for localizing infective lesions. We report a case of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in which PET-CT was used to differentiate between infection in the kidney and liver cysts. Localization of infection to the liver rather than to kidney cysts altered patient management. We briefly review the role of PET-CT in localization of an occult focus of infection.
