  • Title: Complete resolution of focal-on-diffuse myocardial activity pattern on FDG PET-CT by prolonging the dietary preparation protocol in cardiac sarcoidosis.
    Author: Kherajani P, Farag AA, Morgan WS, Hage FG, Bhambhvani P.
    Journal: J Nucl Cardiol; 2023 Dec; 30(6):2525-2530. PubMed ID: 37524998.
    Abstract:
    Patient preparation is crucial for reliable interpretation of cardiac inflammation FDG PET. We share our experience of improved reporting confidence and propose a simple approach of prolonging preparation (from 24 to 48 hours) with the high-fat, no-carbohydrate, and protein-permitted diet followed by fasting in cardiac sarcoidosis in cases with diffuse or focal-on-diffuse myocardial FDG uptake.
