Diagnosis of Deep Septic Thrombophlebitis in Cancer Patients by Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Scanning: A Preliminary Report

To determine the role of the fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan in the diagnosis and management of deep septic thrombophlebitis (STP). We conducted a prospective observational evaluation of FDG-PET in patients with cancer and suspected STP. Retrospective evalu...

Zusammenfassung:	To determine the role of the fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan in the diagnosis and management of deep septic thrombophlebitis (STP). We conducted a prospective observational evaluation of FDG-PET in patients with cancer and suspected STP. Retrospective evaluation of patients with cancer and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) who underwent FDG-PET and extremity duplex scan (DS) was also performed. Strong venous uptake was observed in FDG-PET of nine STP episodes versus 0 of 27 DVT episodes (P
