  • Title: Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism detected by FDG PET/CT in a patient with bacteremia.
    Author: Nielsen AL, Thomassen A, Hess S, Alavi A, Høilund-Carlsen PF.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2013 Apr; 38(4):276-7. PubMed ID: 23429400.
    Abstract:
    We report incidental FDG PET/CT findings of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in a patient with bacteremia. In this patient, diagnosis of thromboembolism was not considered until FDG PET/CT imaging was performed, and the findings prompted immediate anticoagulant therapy. The role of FDG PET/CT in venous thromboembolism is not yet well established, but the potential benefit must be kept in mind when interpreting FDG PET/CT images regardless of the underlying disease.
