F-18 FDG Uptake in the Large Arteries: A New Observation

PURPOSEThe cellular components of the atherosclerotic plaque, such as macrophages, exhibits high glucose metabolic activity. The aim of this study was to show the frequency of vascular uptake and possibly to explain the significance of this finding on fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomog...
