The relation between the blood glucose level and the FDG uptake of tissues at normal PET examinations

Background The influence of the blood glucose level on the tracer uptake of normal tissues at [ 18 F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) was retrospectively studied in examinations in clinical patients. Methods Five hundred examinations were evaluated in retrospect...

Zusammenfassung:Background The influence of the blood glucose level on the tracer uptake of normal tissues at [ 18 F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) was retrospectively studied in examinations in clinical patients. Methods Five hundred examinations were evaluated in retrospect. The inclusion criteria were studies with a normal or near-normal FDG distribution. Patients who had been subjected to chemotherapy (including GSF treatment) or radiotherapy
