Normal Variations and Benign Findings in Pediatric 18F-FDG-PET/CT - 28/03/14

Résumé |
18F-FDG PET and PET/CT have a wide variety of indications in children and young adults. Oncologic indications are the most common, but others include neurology, sports medicine, cardiology, and infection imaging. Accurate interpretation of pediatric 18F-FDG PET and PET/CT requires a technically adequate study and knowledgeable interpretation of the images.

Accurate interpretation of the study requires familiarity with normal patterns of physiologic 18F-FDG uptake in children at all stages of development.
