  • Title: Intense uptake evidenced by 18F-FDG PET/CT without a corresponding CT finding--dream or reality?
    Author: Caobelli F, Pizzocaro C, Guerra UP.
    Journal: Nucl Med Rev Cent East Eur; 2014; 17(1):26-8. PubMed ID: 24610649.
    Abstract:
    Although 18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been widely validated and extensively used in the latest years in clinical practice, interpretation of PET/CT images can be affected by several pitfalls. We here present a case of intense lung uptake in a patient without a corresponding finding on CT images, probably due to a microembolism produced during the injection process and located in small vascular structures of the lung parenchyma.
