DRUG RELATED INCREASE IN FDG UPTAKE DURING FDG PET/CT IMAGING

Abstract

Successful fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography examinations can only be performed in ideal conditions without the interference of drugs. In this letter to editor, we aimed to give brief data about certain drugs which increase FDG uptake.

FDG PET/BT Görüntüleme Sırasında İlaca Bağlı FDG Tutulumunda Artış

Abstract

[18F]-2-floro-2-deoksi-D-glukoz (FDG) pozitron emisyon tomografisi/bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemeleri ancak ilaç etkileşimi olmayan ideal koşullarda gerçekleştirilebilir. Bu editör mektubunda FDG tulumunda artışa yol açan belli ilaçlar hakkında öz bilgi vermeyi amaçladık.
